Clinical implications of perivascular fat stranding surrounding spontaneous isolated superior mesenteric artery dissection on computed tomography.

Abstract:

:Patients with spontaneous isolated superior mesenteric artery (SMA) dissection (SISMAD) usually present with acute or chronic abdominal pain and are admitted to the emergency or digestive diseases department to undergo auxiliary examinations, typically abdominal plain CT or contrast-enhanced CT (CECT). Plain CT is the most crucial examination in emergency radiology. An enlarged SMA diameter and perivascular fat stranding (PFS) on plain CT, though non-specific, may be the only indications for SISMAD. These results may be easily overlooked and the diagnosis of SISMAD may be missed. However, PFS around the SMA on CT may be the only indicator of the possible presence of SISMAD, particularly during the early stage when there are no massive changes in the vascular wall. The present study aimed to determine whether PFS surrounding the SMA on CT may help with the diagnosis of SISMAD by indicating the requirement for further examination. The data of 161 consecutive patients with SMA dissection who underwent abdominal CECT or underwent SMA CT angiography (CTA) after abdominal plain CT between February 2015 and February 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. SMA diameter, classification, PFS, complications, comorbidities and treatments were analyzed. The results demonstrated that SISMAD with PFS was significantly associated with admission type (emergency), clinical manifestations (abdominal pain), diagnostic modality and dissection subtype. On plain CT, PFS surrounding the SMA may be a marker for SISMAD, particularly in the emergency setting, and indicates the requirement for CTA examination.
