Segmental mediolytic arteritis is a rare non-inflammatory arteriopathy. Only eight cases have been reported so far. The authors report a case of a ruptured inferior mesenteric artery aneurysm due to segmental mediolytic arteritis in which preoperative angiography revealed lesions and successful surgical treatment was performed. A review of the clinical features of segmental mediolytic arteritis is also presented.
