Abstract
The exact prevalence of visceral arteries aneurysms is not well docume nted and it is mainly known from necropsies. Inferior mesenteric arter y aneurysms are the rarest of visceral aneurysms. The authors report a case of an aneurysm of the inferior mesenteric artery in a 52 year-ol d man with obstructive disease of superior mesenteric artery and celia c axis. The diagnosis was made by angiography. The aneurysm was resect ed with superior and inferior mesenteric arteries revascularization. S urgical approach is needed in these aneurysms and when they are associ ated with obstructive disease of other intestinal artery, revasculariz ation is mandatory.
