planchnic artery aneurysms (SAA) are seen rarely, but this entity is clinically important. 1 Hepatic artery aneurysm (HAA) may be seen as the true aneurysms or pseudoaneurysms. True HAA is the fourth most common site of splanchnic artery aneursym, following infrarenal aorta, iliac artery and splenic artery. 2 HAA accounts for approximately 20% of SAA, 80% of which are extrahepatic and solitary. 3,4 The rest are intrahepatic. 1-5 It is known that 63% of HAAs involve the common hepatic artery. False aneurysms mostly occur in the right hepatic artery. 6 Previously, HAAs were known to be frequently caused by mycotic infections and inflammation. 7,8 However currently, atherosclerosis is accepted as the most common cause

“…Historically, mycotic aneurysms accounted for most cases, while atherosclerosis is present in as many as 30% of affected patients (2,3,5). Less common causes of HAA are: vasculitides such as polyarteritis nodosa, periarterial inflammation caused by cholecystitis or pancreatitis, fibromuscular hypoplasia or cystic medial necrosis, tuberculosis, and trauma (2,3).…”
