Splenic Artery Pseudoaneurysms (SAP) are very rare. Giant SAPs are those which are more than 5 cm in diameter and are rarer. SAPs are usually caused by pancreatitis, trauma, surgery or other iatrogenic interventions, vasculitis, local infective or inflammatory processes. We report the successful surgical management of a giant SAP of unidentified aetiology. This case report highlights the significance that this entity may present atypically and hence, early recognition and aggressive management may be life saving.
脾动脉假性动脉瘤(SAP)非常罕见。巨大脾动脉假性动脉瘤是指直径超过5厘米的,更为罕见。脾动脉假性动脉瘤通常由胰腺炎、外伤、手术或其他医源性干预、血管炎、局部感染或炎症过程引起。我们报告了一例病因不明的巨大脾动脉假性动脉瘤的成功手术治疗。本病例报告强调了该实体可能表现不典型的重要性,因此,早期识别和积极治疗可能挽救生命。
