Cystic artery pseudoaneurysm (CAP) is a rare entity, with just a few cases reported in the literature. The most common presentation of CAP is described by Quincke's triad of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, jaundice and right upper quadrant abdominal pain. We report the case of an 83-year-old male who presented to the adult emergency with a history of an acute cholecystitis 5 weeks prior for which responded to conservative management. Despite this patient not presenting with Quincke's triad, early suspicion of CAP was considered in light of his history of acute cholecystitis and a computed tomographic CT abdomen ordered promptly which showed a 6 mm cystic artery pseudoaneurysm and a thick-walled gallbladder with surrounding inflammatory changes. Management with an endovascular approach followed by an elective cholecystectomy was done.
胆囊动脉假性动脉瘤(CAP)是一种罕见的疾病,文献中仅有少数病例报道。CAP最常见的表现为Quincke三联征,即上消化道出血、黄疸和右上腹腹痛。我们报告一例83岁男性患者,他5周前因急性胆囊炎就诊于成人急诊科,经保守治疗后病情缓解。尽管该患者未出现Quincke三联征,但鉴于其急性胆囊炎病史,仍早期怀疑为CAP,并立即进行了腹部计算机断层扫描(CT),结果显示有一个6毫米的胆囊动脉假性动脉瘤以及一个胆囊壁增厚且周围有炎症改变。随后采用血管内介入治疗,之后择期进行了胆囊切除术。
