Abstract
Ovarian artery aneurysms are extremely rare, only 17Â cases having been published till now. They usually present with rupture during delivery or in the immediate post-partum. We report a case of asymptomatic, unruptured ovarian artery aneurysm in a 40-year-old woman. Diagnosis was achieved by computed tomography performed for an unrelated reason and confirmed by angiography. Transcatheter arterial embolization using coils and glue excluded the lesion. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an asymptomatic ovarian artery aneurysm, diagnosed outside a context of rupture.
