İNTRABDOMINAL KANAMA İLE ORTAYA ÇIKAN BİR SPLENİK ARTER ANEVRİZMASI OLGUSU

Visseral arter anevrizmaları nadirdir. Splenik arter anevrizmaları en sık görülen visseral arter anevrizmalarıdır. Rüptür ve ölümcül kanama riski taşırlar. Tromboze olduklarında görüntüleme metodları ile gözden kaçabilirler. Bu yazıda batın içi kanama ile prezente olan, tromboze olması nedeniyle ancak tekrarlayan bilgisayarlı tomografi BT incelemelerde saptanabilen ve anjiografik incelemede yine tromboze olması nedeniyle tespit edilemeyen splenik arter anevrizmasının, BT ile korele olarak körlemesine embolizasyon ile tedavi edilmesini sunmayı amaçladık

A Case of Splenic Artery Aneurysm Presenting With İntra-Abdominal Bleeding

Visceral artery aneurysms are rare pathologies. Splenic Artery Aneurysms SAA are the most common visceral artery aneurysms accounting for 60% to71% of them, with an incidence of 0.7% in the normal population, even though rates as high as 10% have been found on necropsy studies. This aneurysm has a risk of rupture resulting in death. It can be overlooked missed on the imaging modalities when it is thrombosed. Here, we present a case of splenic artery aneurysm, which could be diagnosed with repetitive computed tomography CT examinations because it was partially thrombosed and overlooked in the 1st CT. The aneurysm was treated with blind embolization in correlation with CT
