Aneurysms of the Splenic Artery
New England Journal of Medicine, 1950THE recognition of aneurysms of the splenic artery is important since death from spontaneous hemorrhage ultimately occurs in the majority of cases and since these aneurysms may be completely excised at an elective time without jeopardizing the blood supply of vital organs.

Hemodynamics of splenic artery aneurysm
Gastroenterology, 1986Blood flow volume of the portal venous system of 3 patients with splenic artery aneurysm, an uncommon disease, was measured using an ultrasonic duplex system. A huge increase in splenic blood flow volume was found in each case. A large portasystemic shunt through which the portal blood flowed hepatofugally was present in 2 cases.

Aneurysms of the splenic artery – A review
The Surgeon, 2010Splenic artery aneurysm is the third most common intra-abdominal aneurysm with a prevalence as high as 10% in some studies. Widespread use of abdominal imaging has resulted in the increasing detection of asymptomatic incidental aneurysms. In this manuscript we review the changing incidence, risk factors and evolving therapeutic options in the era of ...

Aneurysm of Splenic Artery With Calcification
Archives of Surgery, 1963Aneurysm of the splenic artery is an infrequent lesion. The diagnosis is rarely made from clinical symptoms alone. Rupture is attended by a very high mortality. However, if the lesion is diagnosed before rupture occurs, surgical treatment is usually uneventful and successful.

Archives of Surgery, 1976Aneurysm of the splenic artery is found in up to 10% of the elderly. Usually, the lesion is discovered by change and does not produce symptoms unless rupture occurs. Although there is general agreement that surgery is required in symptomatic patients and in women of childbearing age, controversy persists as to management for the asymptomatic patient ...

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 1993
Giant aneurysms of the splenic artery are uncommon. The mean size of splenic artery aneurysms is reported to be 2.1 cm; they are rarely larger than 3 cm. We present two cases in which the splenic artery aneurysm was larger than 8 cm, discuss the management and operative approach to these infrequently encountered entities, and provide a brief review of ...

Splenic Artery Tortuosity Simulating a Splenic Artery Aneurysm
Southern Medical Journal, 1998Splenic artery aneurysms (SAAs) are most commonly identified on x-ray film by the presence of concentric calcifications in the left-upper abdominal quadrant. Not all calcifications are SAAs. In patients with suspicious left-upper abdominal quadrant calcifications, definitive imaging is necessary to confirm the diagnosis of SAA.

Aneurysm of the splenic artery in pregnancy
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1953Abstract A case of rupture of an aneurysm of the splenic artery in pregnancy has been presented along with a review of the cases reported in the literature. The diagnosis, pathogenesis, and treatment of aneurysm of the splenic artery in pregnancy have been discussed and, in conclusion, it may be stated that early diagnosis and surgical correction are
