Background:

Ruptured splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) in pregnancy present a critical obstetric emergency.
High maternal and fetal mortality rates necessitate urgent management strategies.

Observation:

A pregnant patient presented with symptoms suggestive of a ruptured splenic artery aneurysm.
Upper abdominal pain in pregnancy should raise suspicion for this rare but life-threatening condition.

Findings:

The case highlights successful surgical intervention for a ruptured splenic artery aneurysm during pregnancy.
Timely diagnosis and prompt surgical management were key to the positive outcome.

Implications:
