Multiple Incidental Unruptured Splenic Artery Aneurysms Following Severe Trauma

Cureus. 2020 Oct 24;12(10):e11136. doi: 10.7759/cureus.11136.

Abstract

Splenic artery aneurysm is a relatively rare, potentially life-threatening condition due to its high potential for rupture. We report a case of two incidentally found unruptured splenic artery aneurysms in a 39 year-old female victim of severe trauma resulting from a motor vehicle accident (MVA). Management by coiling of the splenic artery aneurysm and embolization to the entire segment distal to it was successfully performed for this patient.

Keywords: incidental aneurysm; splenic artery; splenic artery aneurysm; unruptured aneurysm.
