Abstract
A patient with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV had a celiac artery aneurysm. There are only nine previously published cases of visceral artery aneurysm s in this condition, and surgical management was used in only four of them. This is, are believe, the first published report of a successfully treated celiac artery aneurysm in this condition in which the hazards of treatment and our rationale are explained. The literature of this rare problem is al so reviewed.
