    Author: Rodríguez-Cordero M, González-Quintela A, Díaz-Peromingo JA.
    Journal: Acta Clin Belg; 2014 Oct; 69(5):386-8. PubMed ID: 25092196.
    Abstract:
    Splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) is uncommon, but it is the most frequent visceral artery aneurysm. It is more common in women, especially during pregnancy. SAA is usually asymptomatic, but abdominal pain and rupture may develop. At present, computerized tomography (CT) angiogram is the best diagnostic test but not the only. Surgical or endovascular treatment may be considered both in symptomatic or asymptomatic aneurysms greater then 2 cm in diameter. We present the case of an elderly woman with an SAA and review the literature.
