Abstract
Splenic artery aneurysms are rare entities with many causes. Rupture can be fatal and usually occurs when the aneurismal diameter is greater than 2Â 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.
