Hepatic artery aneurysm: Imaging findings

Hepatik arter anevrizmaları ender olup, insidansı % 0.25’den daha azdır. Hastaların çoğu asemptomatik olduğu için tanı genellikle başka nedenlerle yapılan görüntüleme tetkikleri sırasında tesadüfen konulur. Hepatik arter anevrizmaları, potansiyel katastrofikintraperitonealkanamaylarüptüre olmaya eğilimli oldukları için erken tanı önemlidir. Burada, etyolojisinde aterosklerozun rol oynadığı iki adet HAA’sı bulunan bir olgu sunulmaktadır. Tanıda görüntüleme bulgularının önemi tartışılmış ve ilgili literaür gözden geçirilmiştir.

Hepatik arter anevrizması: görüntüleme bulguları

Hepatic artery aneurysm is uncommon with an estimated incidence of less than 0.25%. Because most patients are asymptomatic, the diagnosis is usually made as an incidental finding on imaging studies performed for other reasons. Because of their propensity to rupture with potential catastrophic intraperitoneal hemorrhage, early diognosis is important. Herein, relatively asymptomatic two aneurysms of the hepatic artery of atherosclerotic etiology is presented. The importance of imaging findings in the diagnosis of this condition is discussed and relevant literature is reviewed.
