The contrast-enhanced multi-detector computed tomography is considered essential for diagnosis, therapeutic management and follow-up. Therapeutic approach ranges from conservative medical treatment to surgery or endovascular stent placement, but there are, to date, no approved guidelines. Here we report the case of a 68-years-old man, which was admitted to our Emergency Department just for mild abdominal pain, which, later, proved to have acute superior mesenteric artery dissection.
