Gastroepiploic artery aneurysms are extremely rare, with few reported cases in the literature. The risk of rupture however, is high and thus warrants attention.
Here we present a rare case of a women who presented to the emergency department in shock and was found to have a ruptured gastroepiploic artery aneurysm during surgical exploration. Suture ligation of the aneurysm was completed.
Although rare, gastroepiploic artery aneurysms have up to a 90% rate of rupture and therefore require intervention. A laparoscopic approach has been described however, in cases where rupture has occurred, urgent laparotomy and control of hemorrhage is needed.
We describe a rare case of a ruptured gastroepiploic aneurysm that was successfully managed with urgent laparotomy and aneurysmal resection.
胃网膜动脉瘤极为罕见，文献报道的病例较少。然而，其破裂风险很高，因此值得关注。
在此，我们报告一例罕见病例，一名女性因休克被送往急诊科，在手术探查中发现患有破裂的胃网膜动脉瘤。完成了动脉瘤的缝合结扎。
尽管胃网膜动脉瘤罕见，但其破裂率高达90%，因此需要进行干预。虽然已有腹腔镜手术的描述，但在发生破裂的情况下，需要紧急剖腹手术并控制出血。
我们描述了一例罕见的破裂胃网膜动脉瘤病例，通过紧急剖腹手术和动脉瘤切除术成功治疗。
