Title:Acute Retroperitoneal Bleeding due to Inferior Mesenteric Artery Aneurysm
Version: 1Date:21 July 2009
Reviewer: Raffaele Pulli
Reviewer's report:
The authors describe a case of IMA aneurysm associated with occlusion of SMA
and celiac trunk. The unusual presentation (rupture) could be the strenght of their
paper. However the organization of the manuscript presents several
weaknesses. In background session there are only two rows for presenting the
case report.
On the contrary, in the description of the case there are citations and a brief
discussion that should have been in the background session, on the basis of the
rules of the Journal.
The surgical tecnique described do not add anithing to our knowledge in this
field.
Level of interest: An article of limited interest
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
