Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Splenic artery aneurysms (SAAs) are rare but potentially life-threatening vascular abnormalities.
  • Rupture of SAAs can lead to severe intra-abdominal hemorrhage and high mortality rates.
  • Diagnosis is often challenging and frequently occurs during emergency laparotomy.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of a ruptured splenic artery aneurysm.
  • The diagnosis was established during emergency surgery for hemoperitoneum.
  • Clinical and etiological factors associated with the rupture were evaluated.

Findings:

  • Ruptured splenic artery aneurysm presenting as hemoperitoneum.
  • Surgical management is the definitive treatment for ruptured SAAs.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are critical for patient survival.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering SAAs in cases of unexplained hemoperitoneum.
  • Emphasizes the critical role of surgical intervention in managing ruptured SAAs.
  • Underscores the high mortality associated with delayed diagnosis and treatment of SAA rupture.
