Vascular abnormalities visualized by multislice computed tomography of the abdomen: accidental findings or immediate causes of pain syndrome? (topic review)
Abnormalities of the abdominal aorta branches may cause chronic mesenteric ischemia, progressive pathological changes of the internal organs in this setting, and chronic pain syndrome. The causes of chronic mesenteric ischemia may be divided into atherosclerotic and non-atherosclerotic. Atherosclero...

| description | Abnormalities of the abdominal aorta branches may cause chronic mesenteric ischemia, progressive pathological changes of the internal organs in this setting, and chronic pain syndrome. The causes of chronic mesenteric ischemia may be divided into atherosclerotic and non-atherosclerotic. Atherosclerosis of the unpaired branches of the abdominal aorta involves stenosis or occlusion. Other causes include fibromuscular dysplasia, vasculitis (Takayasu, segmental mediolytic arteriopathy), and median arcuate ligament syndrome. These syndromes, the pathogenesis of some of which remains controversial, lead to nonspecific complaints such as abdominal pain, weight loss, and others. Digital subtraction angiography or duplex ultrasound may provide hemodynamic information in cases of vascular disease in this area. However, multislice spiral computed tomography is in many cases the first choice because it allows for a comprehensive assessment of the state of blood vessels and associated morphological changes of internal organs. Structural changes accompanying these syndromes can also occur in patients who are undergoing a medical examination for other reasons. However, these syndromes should not be diagnosed solely on the basis of imaging; instead, the findings should be compared with the clinical presentation, which implies collaboration of radiologists and clinicians. |
