Abstract

<p>A 62-year-old male presented with right intercostal muscle pain. Clinical examination revealed muscular defense in the same area. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a distended gallbladder and ascites effusion, but no gallstones or polyps were present. Contrast-enhanced computerized tomography was performed, which revealed luminal obstruction due to arterial dissection of the celiac artery and intrinsic hepatic artery. This finding suggested gangrenous cholecystitis; thus, urgent cholecystectomy was performed. Only a few cases of celiac artery dissection and only one case of gangrenous cholecystitis without stones have been reported. We report here an extremely rare case of celiac artery dissection.</p>
