Gastrosplenic Fistula and Coeliac Artery Occlusion

Review Data

Purpose and Significance of Study: The manuscript depicts a case of gastrosplenic fistula (GSF) resulting from occlusion of the coeliac artery in a 60-year-old male. GSF is in itself very rare, and the underlying cause of coeliac artery occlusion makes this an even more rare case, as the usual causes of GSF are splenic or gastric lymphomas. This is the first report of this kind. 

 

Fit with Scope of Journal: The manuscript is of very high interest for the journal Surgical Case Reports.
