An inferior mesenteric artery aneurysm is considered one of the visceral artery aneurysms, which is extremely rare, although its incidence of detection has been increasing in recent years. A 59-year-old male patient with a renal cell carcinoma in the left kidney was diagnosed with an inferior mesenteric artery aneurysm and treated surgically. Computed tomography revealed atrophy of the right kidney and occlusion of the celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, and left renal artery. There were no complications during the hospital stay and no mortality or morbidity was observed at three months of follow-up. In conclusion, the treatment of inferior mesenteric artery aneurysms is usually recommended, due to possible complications such as rupture and thromboembolism with high mortality and morbidity rates.
肠系膜下动脉瘤被认为是内脏动脉瘤之一，极为罕见，尽管近年来其检出率一直在上升。一名59岁左肾患有肾细胞癌的男性患者被诊断出患有肠系膜下动脉瘤并接受了手术治疗。计算机断层扫描显示右肾萎缩以及腹腔干、肠系膜上动脉和左肾动脉闭塞。住院期间无并发症发生，随访三个月未观察到死亡或发病情况。总之，由于可能出现破裂和血栓栓塞等并发症，且死亡率和发病率较高，通常建议对肠系膜下动脉瘤进行治疗。
