Abstract:
A patient with bleeding from the eroded distal splenic artery secondary to acute pancreatitis is presented. The pancreatic tail was found to be moderately edematous without cyst, abscess or necrosis at splenectomy. The walls of the artery showed no structural changes. The postoperative course was uneventful.
