  • Title: Unusual presentation of ruptured splenic artery aneurysms.
    Author: Hashmonai M, Moscona AR, Schramek A.
    Journal: Int Surg; 1979; 64(4):63-5. PubMed ID: 536169.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of ruptured splenic artery aneurysms with unusual clinical presentation are reported. In one case an inflammatory abdominal process was suspected, while in the other the operation was delayed by several hours due to the unexplained coma, high blood sugar levels and lack of signs of shock until an advanced stage of the disease. As there was no active bleeding during the operation, the presence of free blood in the abdomen and clots in the omentum provided the clue for localization of the source of the bleeding.
