A. axial CT imaging obtained one month prior to the dissection when she presented with a spontaneous hemoperitoneum managed medically. B. Axial CT imaging demonstrating focal dissection and mild enlargement of the celiac artery. This remained unchanged on follow up imaging over the next 5 years. C.
