    Author: Hung CF, Tseng JH, Lui KW, Wan YL, Tsai CC, Shem CH, Wu CS.
    Journal: Postgrad Med J; 1999 Jun; 75(884):355-7. PubMed ID: 10435172.
    Abstract:
    We describe a rare case of splenic arteriovenous fistula and venous aneurysm which developed after splenectomy in a 40-year-old woman who presented with epigastralgia, watery diarrhoea, repeated haematemesis and melaena caused by hyperkinetic status of the portal system and bleeding of oesophageal varices. It was diagnosed by computed tomography and angiography, and obliterated with giant Gianturco steel coils.
