Abstract:
We report a case of ligation of the splenic artery with splenectomy during pregnancy due to a splenic artery aneurysm. The risk of aneurysmal rupture is increased in multipara and during pregnancy. As a result of high maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality elective surgery should be performed.
