A postpartum female presented with aching abdominal pain as well as persistently elevated blood pressure poorly controlled by medication. Computed tomography angiography was performed and identified an aneursym of the celiac artery proximal to its branching points. Due to symptomatic presentation of the patient and plans of future pregnancy, surgical repair of the aneursym was planned and performed 2 months following initial diagnosis. Celiac artery aneurysms are rare types of visceral artery aneursyms (VAAs) and comprise ~4% of all VAAs.
