    Author: Favriel JM, Cerf M, Sterin P, Boutelier P, Bocquet L, Debray C.
    Journal: Sem Hop; ; 55(21-22):1125-8. PubMed ID: 225822.
    Abstract:
    In a 73 year old man, repeated gastrointestinal haemorrhages first attributed to peptic oesophagitis, recurred despite anti-reflux surgery. Upper endoscopy being negative, arteriography was performed which revealed the presence of a fissured aneurysm of the splenic artery. This was successfully treated by left splenopancreatectomy. A communication between the aneurysm and wirsung's duct was found in the operative specimen. This a very rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. The diagnosis can be made only by arteriography.
