Abstract:
Spontaneous rupture of the spleen is an uncommon emergency that usually occurs in a spleen affected by hematologic, neoplastic, or infectious diseases or as a complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis. This condition requires early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Intrasplenic aneurysms are rare and rupture of the spleen secondary to intrasplenic aneurysm is extremely rare. We present the imaging findings for a case of splenic rupture secondary to an intrasplenic aneurysm. The patient was treated by percutaneous embolization, with excellent results. We review the literature on this entity and its endovascular treatment.
