Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Obstetrics & Gynecology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Splenic artery aneurysms (SAAs) are uncommon vascular lesions.
  • Rupture during pregnancy carries significant maternal and fetal risks.
  • Postpartum rupture of SAAs is exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • A case of a ruptured splenic artery aneurysm occurring in the postpartum period is presented.
  • The patient's clinical presentation and management are detailed.
  • A comprehensive review of existing literature on SAA pathophysiology, clinical features, and treatment strategies is included.

Findings:

  • Ruptured splenic artery aneurysms represent a critical obstetric and surgical emergency.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for improving maternal and fetal outcomes.

  • Management strategies vary based on patient stability and aneurysm characteristics.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering SAA rupture in postpartum patients with abdominal emergencies.
    • Enhanced awareness and timely diagnostic workup can facilitate life-saving interventions.
    • Further research into optimal management protocols for ruptured SAAs in pregnant and postpartum patients is warranted.
