An inferior mesenteric artery aneurysm is considered one
of the visceral artery aneurysms, which is extremely rare,
although its incidence of detection has been increasing in
recent years. A 59-year-old male patient with a renal cell
carcinoma in the left kidney was diagnosed with an inferior
mesenteric artery aneurysm and treated surgically. Computed
tomography revealed atrophy of the right kidney and occlusion
of the celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, and left renal
artery. There were no complications during the hospital stay
and no mortality or morbidity was observed at three months of
follow-up. In conclusion, the treatment of inferior mesenteric
artery aneurysms is usually recommended, due to possible
complications such as rupture and thromboembolism with high
mortality and morbidity rates.
