Obstructive jaundice by a dissecting aneurysm of celiac axis and hepatic artery.

We report a case of dissecting aneurysm of the celiac axis and hepatic artery resulting in obstructive jaundice. The aneurysm was demonstrated both by ultrasound and by angiography, but the associated aortic dissection was apparent only on CT scan. The patient was treated with percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage, surgical exclusion of the aneurysm by ligation, and progressive dearterialization of the hepatic artery.
