RESUMO
Gastric ischemia (GI) results from diffuse or localized vascular insufficiency caused by different aetiologies such as systemic hypotension, vasculitis, disseminated thromboembolism and celiac or mesenteric stenosis. We present a case of gastric ischemia due to critical stenosis of the celiac artery treated using endovascular therapy. The celiac artery is the first major branch of the abdominal aorta and provides some of the blood supply to the stomach through the left gastric artery and other organs like the spleen (splenic artery branch) and the liver. Although the collateral blood supply to the stomach is protective, systemic hypotension or occlusion of the main arteries, as in the case of our patient, may result in gastric ischemia. The stent placement is an alternative to surgery in patients with high comorbidity and with good outcomes. The clinical awareness of this syndrome will allow gastroenterologists and radiologists to appropriately diagnose and manage affected patients (AU)
La isquemia gástrica resulta de la insuficiencia vascular difusa o localizada causada por diferentes etiologías como la hipotensión sistémica, la vasculitis, el tromboembolismo diseminado y la estenosis mesentérica o celíaca. Presentamos un caso de isquemia gástrica secundaria a estenosis crítica del tronco celíaco tratada endovascularmente. El tronco celíaco es la primera rama de la aorta abdominal y aporta gran parte del flujo de sangre al estómago a través de la arteria gástrica izquierda y de otros órganos como el bazo (a través de la rama esplénica) y el hígado. Aunque las colaterales que irrigan el estómago son protectoras, la hipotensión sistémica o la oclusión de las principales ramas como en el caso que presentamos, pueden llevar a la isquemia gástrica. La colocación de stents endovasculares es una alterativa terapéutica a la cirugía en pacientes con gran comorbilidad y con buenos resultados. La sospecha clínica de este síndrome puede llevar tanto a gastroenterólogos como a radiólogos a un correcto diagnóstico y tratamiento de los pacientes afectos (AU)

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is an infrequent pathology, although there is a growing incidence in Eastern countries, which might be due to a greater rate of detection. It can be associated with other auto immune pathologies and its association with IgG4-related systemic disease has been described.Its clinical presentation is varied and the normal treatment is medical, using corticoids.A diagnosed clinical case is described.

La pancreatitis autoinmune (PAI) es una patología poco frecuente, aunque con una creciente incidencia en países orientales, si bien esto podría deberse a una mayor tasa de detección. Puede asociarse a otras patologías autoinmunes, y se ha descrito su asociación con la enfermedad sistémica por IgG4. La clínica es variada y el tratamiento habitualmente es médico, mediante corticoides. Se describe un caso clínico diagnosticado (AU)
