Cureus. 2022 Sep 29;14(9):e29727. doi: 10.7759/cureus.29727. eCollection 2022 Sep.

Abstract

Thrombosis of the celiac artery trunk is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain which is associated with high mortality and morbidity if not diagnosed and treated early. We present an unusual case of celiac trunk artery thrombosis associated with aortic thrombosis and partial splenic infarction in a 52-year-old female who presented with acute abdominal pain. Hematological investigations failed to predict any predisposing factors. This case demonstrates the importance of considering such clinical presentation in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen.
