Abstract

Splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. SAA can occur following an acute or chronic pancreatitis as a pseudoaneurysm, iatrogenic (post-pancreatic/splenic surgery) or post-traumatic. If symptomatic, it needs to be treated urgently as it has a high risk of rupture.
