Abstract:

Isolated celiac artery injury is a rare event, especially post blunt traumatic injury. In the event of hemodynamically instability, surgical exploration and management is the obvious approach. There is however no clear consensus on the management of hemodynamically stable patients with such injury. We present a case of an isolated celiac artery injury which was managed conservatively medically.
