    Abstract:
    A 68-year-old woman presented with general malaise. Her vital signs were unstable, and abdominal computed tomography revealed giant (10 cm) splenic artery aneurysm with evidence of rupture. We first occluded the root of the splenic artery using a balloon catheter. Next, we resected the distal pancreas and spleen because of the aneurysm size and destruction of the related vasculature. After surgery, the patient's condition improved, and she was discharged from the hospital on postoperative day 18. Because ruptured giant splenic artery aneurysms are very rare, we report this case with a review of the literature.
