Splanchnic artery aneurysms, particularly those involving the left gastric artery, are infrequent occurrences and often lack noticeable symptoms, but their rupture involves a significant risk of mortality. We present a case involving an unruptured left gastric artery aneurysm (LGAA) that extended into the right hemithorax. This case report outlines the categorization, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic challenges associated with such aneurysms. Our findings could offer valuable insights for clinicians and radiologists when adopting a systematic approach for the early detection and management of LGAA.
内脏动脉瘤,尤其是累及胃左动脉的动脉瘤,较为罕见,且通常缺乏明显症状,但其破裂会带来显著的死亡风险。我们报告一例未破裂的胃左动脉瘤(LGAA)延伸至右半胸的病例。本病例报告概述了此类动脉瘤的分类、临床表现及诊断挑战。我们的发现可为临床医生和放射科医生在采用系统方法早期检测和管理胃左动脉瘤时提供有价值的见解。
