Unveiling the Silent Tear: A 35-Year-Old With Isolated Spontaneous Celiac Artery Dissection

Isolated spontaneous celiac artery dissection is a rare condition with only a few reported cases, especially in individuals with minimal risk factors. Celiac artery dissection has been associated with several risk factors, including hypertension, vasculitis, pregnancy, connective tissue disease, smoking, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. The condition typically affects middle-aged men, with a mean age of 55 years. We present a case of celiac artery dissection in a young 35-year-old man with a past medical history of obesity and mild dyslipidemia. The patient presented with spontaneous mid-epigastric pain radiating to his left upper abdomen. This case of an isolated celiac artery dissection in a young patient without significant risk factors highlights the importance of maintaining a high clinical suspicion for this rare condition, even in otherwise healthy individuals presenting with acute abdominal pain.
