Abstract
The authors describe an infant with an aneurysm of the right iliac art ery, associated with three sites involving the inferior mesenteric art ery and its first two branches, most likely related to an episode of c hicken pox. Helical angiography with computed tomography, performed wi th a continuous-rotation scanner, allowed precise assessment of the le sions, in particular those affecting the inferior mesenteric artery.
