Faux anévrisme iatrogène de l'artère splénique après duodénopancréatectomie céphalique

Splenic artery aneurysms are rare entities with many causes. Rupture can be fatal and usually occurs when the aneurismal diameter is greater than 2 cm. Nevertheless, smaller aneurysms, especially false aneurysms, can also rupture. We report a case of iatrogenic, false aneurysm of the splenic artery subsequent to percutaneous drainage of a retrogastric collection after cephalic duodenopancreatectomy. Splenectomy enabled favorable recovery.
