Abstract EN
The use of shockwave lithotripsy is currently the mainstay of treatment in renal calculosis.
Several complications including vessel injuries have been implied to extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy.
We report an isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery in a 60-year-old male presenting with abdominal pain which occurred three days after extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy.
The patient was treated conservatively and the abdominal pain subsided 24 hours later.
The patient's history, the course of his disease, and the timing may suggest a correlation between the dissection and the ESWL.
