Popis: Spontaneous isolated dissection of the iliac artery (SID-IA) is a rare vascular condition typically associated with trauma or connective tissue disorders. We present a unique case of a 39-year-old male without known risk factors or trauma history who presented with lower abdominal pain. Diagnostic imaging revealed SID-IA involving the right external iliac artery with thrombus formation. Despite negative findings for connective tissue disorders, the patient underwent successful endovascular stenting following initial medical management. Vigilance in diagnosis and prompt intervention are crucial in managing SID-IA to prevent complications such as limb ischemia and aneurysm formation. This case emphasizes the importance of considering SID-IA in young patients presenting with abdominal pain, even in the absence of traditional risk factors, and highlights evolving treatment options for this rare condition.
