Abstract

This is a case report of two men aged 39 and 43 years with dissection of the coeliac trunk involving the splenic arteries causing splenic infarction. One case was associated with an increase in abdominal pressure during defaecation and the other occurred during treatment with methylphenidate. Based on the published 43 cases, risk factors include male sex, increased intraabdominal pressure or increased vascular pressure. Methylphenidate most likely increased the blood pressure, and dissections of other arteries have been described during treatment with this and the similar drug amphetamine.
