  • Title: Splenic vein aneurysm: is it a surgical indication?
    Author: Torres G, Hines GL, Monteleone F, Hon M, Diel J.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 1999 Apr; 29(4):719-21. PubMed ID: 10194502.
    Abstract:
    Splenic vein aneurysms are rare and are usually caused by portal hypertension. Symptoms are unusual, but may include rupture or abdominal pain. Diagnosis can usually be made either by means of duplex ultrasonography or computed tomography scanning. Treatment varies from noninvasive follow-up to aneurysm excision. We report an expanding splenic vein aneurysm in a young woman with abdominal and back pain and no history of portal hypertension. She was treated with aneurysm excision and splenectomy.
