  • Title: [Splenic artery aneurysm. Apropos 3 cases].
    Author: Ruiz Cabello M, Rosado JL, Pérez de las Vacas J, Gándara N, Cardenal J.
    Journal: An Med Interna; 1991 Oct; 8(10):494-6. PubMed ID: 1751689.
    Abstract:
    3 cases of aneurysm of the splenic artery are presented. The incidence of this disease in the general population is not particularly low, however, it is not often diagnosed as it is not symptomatic. 2 of our patients were admitted because of abdominal pain, one of them with acute abdomen and shock and the other had two periods of symptoms with a nonsymptomatic interval between them; both patients had aneurysm resection and splenectomy. The third patient was non-symptomatic and the aneurysm was discovered due to a ring-like calcification. We highlight the value of a contrast CT scan in order to diagnose splenic artery aneurysms.
