A giant antral ulceration evoked by a rare cause of single-vessel chronic GI ischemia.

摘要

The stomach is mainly vascularized by the arteria gas-trica sinistra, which branches off the celiac artery (CA). Chronic GI ischemia caused by isolated stenosis of the CA is rare.1 Ulceration of the stomach caused by solitary CA stenosis has been described in only a few case reports.2-3 Fibromuscular dysplasia has been described as a rare cause of abdominal arterial stenosis.4 Fibromuscular dysplasia of the CA causing gastric ulceration has been presented in only one previous article written in French.
