The formation of splenic artery pseudoaneurysms is a commonly reported complication of chronic pancreatitis. Angiography has an established role in the diagnosis of splenic artery pseudoaneurysms while CT scan is thought to be less accurate for making this diagnosis. In this report, we present a rare case of two separate concomitant splenic artery pseudoaneurysms, illustrating the value of combining CT and angiography for optimal visualisation and treatment.
脾动脉假性动脉瘤的形成是慢性胰腺炎常见的并发症。血管造影在脾动脉假性动脉瘤的诊断中具有确定的作用,而CT扫描在做出该诊断时被认为准确性较低。在本报告中,我们呈现了一例罕见的同时存在两个独立脾动脉假性动脉瘤的病例,说明了联合使用CT和血管造影以实现最佳可视化和治疗的价值。
