Abstract:
A case of a dissecting aneurysm of the splenic artery is presented. Although aneurysms of the splenic artery are common, a dissecting aneurysm has been mentioned infrequently in the available literature. Clinical aspects, confirmation of the diagnosis by celiac arteriography and surgical therapy are described. The pathogenesis is discussed briefly. The necessity of clinical awareness in cases of obscure abdominal pain is emphasized.
