Gastroduodenal artery (GDA) aneurysm is a rare but potentially fatal vascular disease, with chronic pancreatitis being reported as the commonest aetiological factor. Its main complication is rupture, which is not uncommon and carries high risk of mortality. Clinical suspicion and advanced imaging tools should be employed in a timely fashion to make a diagnosis before this ominous event. We report a case of successfully treated GDA aneurysm who presented with minor bleeding episodes before suffering a major bleed and briefly discuss this pathology in light of the existing literature.
胃十二指肠动脉(GDA)动脉瘤是一种罕见但可能致命的血管疾病,据报道,慢性胰腺炎是最常见的病因。其主要并发症是破裂,这种情况并不少见,且死亡率很高。临床怀疑和先进的影像学工具应及时应用,以便在这一不祥事件发生前做出诊断。我们报告一例成功治疗的GDA动脉瘤病例,该患者在发生大出血之前有少量出血发作,并根据现有文献简要讨论了这种病理情况。
