Abstract
This case report demonstrates development and progressive enlargement of multiple pancreaticoduodenal arcade pseudoaneurysms using computed tomography angiographies over a period of 5Â weeks after abdominal trauma. The mechanism of pseudoaneurysm formation, as shown by serial imaging, attributed to preexisting celiac axis stenosis by the median arcuate ligament, posttraumatic celiac artery dissection, and secondary occlusion of proper hepatic artery resulting in elevation of pressure and flow in the pancreaticoduodenal arcade and rupture of small arterial branches. Successful pseudoaneurysm occlusion was achieved through arterial embolization.
