Splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) is a rare clinical entity that carries the risk of rupture and fatal hemorrhage. Ruptured SAA, especially during pregnancy has fateful consequences for the mother, foetus or both. The role of the Radiologist is very important in preventing mortality. A diagnosis of ruptured SAA should be considered in any pregnant patient who complains of sudden epigastric or upper abdominal pain, with or without shock. This is a report of two cases where the mothers were saved but the foetuses were lost.
脾动脉瘤（SAA）是一种罕见的临床病症，存在破裂和致命出血的风险。破裂的脾动脉瘤，尤其是在孕期破裂，会对母亲、胎儿或两者都造成致命后果。放射科医生在预防死亡方面的作用非常重要。对于任何主诉突发上腹部或上腹部疼痛、伴有或不伴有休克的孕妇，都应考虑破裂性脾动脉瘤的诊断。本文报告两例病例，母亲均获救，但胎儿均死亡。
