Splenic artery aneurysms (SAAs) are rare (0.2-10.4%); however, they are the most common form of visceral artery aneurysms. Splenic artery aneurysms are important to identify, because up to 25% of the cases are complicated by rupture. Post- rupture mortality rate is 25% -70% based on the underlying cause. Herein we present a young patient with abdominal pain after blunt abdominal trauma due to rupture of an SAA.
A 27-year-old male, without a remarkable medical history, who suffered from abdominal pain for 2 days after falling was admitted to the emergency department with hypovolemic shock. Upon performing emergency laparotomy a ruptured splenic artery aneurysm was found.
It is important to consider rupture of a splenic artery aneurysm in patients with abdominal pain and hypovolemic shock.
脾动脉瘤(SAA)较为罕见(发生率为0.2%-10.4%);然而,它们是内脏动脉瘤最常见的形式。识别脾动脉瘤很重要,因为高达25%的病例会并发破裂。破裂后的死亡率因潜在病因在25%-70%之间。在此,我们报告一名年轻患者,因钝性腹部创伤导致脾动脉瘤破裂后出现腹痛。
一名27岁男性,既往无显著病史,跌倒后腹痛2天,因低血容量性休克入住急诊科。行急诊剖腹探查时发现脾动脉瘤破裂。
对于腹痛和低血容量性休克患者,考虑脾动脉瘤破裂很重要。
