Aneurysm of the Splenic Artery

Abstract: This paper records an incidence of 10.4% of aneurysm of the splenic artery in 250 consecutive routine post-mortem examinations. Medial degeneration seemed to be the commonest cause of such aneurysms and although a number were associated with other intraabdominal pathology, including portal hypertension, the association may be fortuitous and not causal.

“…Stanley and Fry [10] found a 0.78% incidence of splenic artery aneurysm revealed by abdominal aortography examinations. Splenic artery aneurysms are more common in women, and splenic artery aneurysms are encountered more frequently in parous than in nonparous women [5,9,11,12].…”

“…The first fetal survival in such a case was reported in 1928 by Mayer [3], and MacLeod and Maurice in 1940 [4] were the first who were able to save the mother. The incidence of splenic artery aneurysm noted at autopsy varies between 0.02 to 10.4% [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Stanley and Fry [10] found a 0.78% incidence of splenic artery aneurysm revealed by abdominal aortography examinations.…”

“…[1][2][3] The goal of treatment of these aneurysms is to prevent rupture, while maintaining the blood flow. Therefore, the resection of the aneurysm and the reconstruction of the splenic artery by surgery remain the gold standard for fulfilling these goals.…”

“…[1][2][3] The most common treatment is surgical resection with or without splenic artery reconstruction, or exclusion with catheter intervention, which may reduce postoperative complications, such as pancreas injury. However, when the aneurysm is associated with an arterial anomaly, the treatment becomes complicated, especially if it is presented during pregnancy.…”
