A ruptured atherosclerotic splenic artery aneurysm caused hypovolemic shock. Emergency surgery, including splenectomy, successfully treated the patient.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Splenic artery aneurysms (SAAs) are rare but can lead to life-threatening complications.
  • Rupture into the peritoneal cavity is a critical presentation of SAA.

Observation:

  • A case report detailing a patient presenting with hypovolemic shock due to a ruptured atherosclerotic splenic artery aneurysm.
  • The aneurysm ruptured into the peritoneal cavity, leading to acute hemodynamic instability.

Findings:

  • Successful emergency laparotomy and splenectomy were performed to manage the ruptured SAA.
  • The patient's hypovolemic shock was resolved following surgical intervention.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and surgical management of ruptured splenic artery aneurysms.
