We present a case of acute isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection with symptomatic bowel malperfusion requiring surgical intervention. We recommend clinicians and surgeons maintain a high clinical suspicion for mesenteric ischemia in patients presenting with isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection and describe a hybrid open surgical/endovascular approach that can safely be utilized in patients requiring intervention.

Background And Aims: Image Defined Risk Factors (IDRFs) assess surgical risk in neuroblastoma (NB) and guide neoadjuvant therapy. Despite chemotherapy IDRFs may persist in 70 % of cases. Several studies have suggested that not all IDRFs hold equal significance and that the presence of an IDRF does not inherently signify unresectability.

A superior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula (SMAVF) following gastrointestinal surgery represents a rare vascular complication. Enhanced computed tomography with 3-dimensional reconstruction proves to be the most efficacious modality for detecting this uncommon entity. Superior mesenteric angiography becomes imperative to accurately delineate the location and extent of mesenteric vessel involvement, which is essential for devising an optimal treatment strategy.

Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) aneurysm and their surgical interventions are rare, leading to infrequent reports of postoperative complications. This report describes 2 cases of refractory diarrhea following vascular reconstruction for infectious SMA aneurysms. Both patients underwent aneurysm resection and SMA reconstruction but experienced persistent diarrhea despite treatment with anti-diarrheal medications.

BACKGROUND The configuration of the hepatic arteries is known to vary substantially between individuals. Here, we report a rare retroperitoneal configuration of an accessory hepatic artery existing alongside a left and right hepatic artery branching from the proper hepatic artery. During routine dissection, we discovered an anomalous configuration of the hepatic arteries that does not fit the commonly used categorizations for abnormal hepatic vasculature.

Purpose: To establish the normal ranges of the main portal vein (MPV), left portal vein (LPV), and right portal vein (RPV) diameters in children and adolescents using abdominal contrast-enhanced CT.
Methods: We retrospectively enrolled children and adolescents (under 19 years) who underwent abdominal contrast-enhanced CT examinations in our hospital between January 2018 and January 2024. Subjects with conditions potentially affecting the portal vein diameter were excluded.
