Description
Summary:Splenic artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare condition with approximately 1 prevalence. Potential risks of splenic artery aneurysms (SAAs) include rupture and life-threatening hemorrhage, which can occur in about 10 of cases. The ratio of splenic artery pseudoaneurysms in female-to-male is 4:1. It is significantly higher in patients older than 60 years and patients with portal hypertension. Such patients are usually asymptomatic, but 20 of them present with complaints such as abdominal pain and chest pain and most are usually diagnosed incidentally. In this case report, we have highlighted a 40-year-old patient who presented with pain abdomen and shock, which, after a thorough workup, came out to be a case of pseudocyst of the pancreas with rupture of SAA as well as eventration into the mediastinum through hiatus hernia. The patient was successfully managed with splenic artery coiling. Keywords: Aneurysm, rupture, splenic artery
