Abstract

Celiac trunk thrombosis is a rare vascular emergency that can lead to life-threatening complications including bowel ischemia and multi-organ dysfunction. The association between inflammatory autoimmune arthropathies and thrombotic events is well-established, but celiac trunk involvement remains exceptionally uncommon. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges and management considerations in patients with underlying inflammatory autoimmune conditions.
