Sonographic detection and coil embolization of an intrasplenic pseudoaneurysm following stab injury and salvage surgery

Intrasplenic Arterial Aneurysms during Pregnancy

“…It may also identify haematoma in and around the spleen in cases of TISPS [17]. Colour Doppler US demonstrates turbulent flow within the lesion [17].…”

“…The nonsurgical management of blunt splenic trauma gained popularity during the last two decades. TISPs have been reported more frequently, following blunt trauma [ 13 – 16 ], stab wound [ 17 ], iatrogenic interventional radiology, or biopsy procedures [ 18 ].…”

“…Intrasplenic aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms are initially investigated by US which usually show anechoic lesion in the spleen. It may also identify haematoma in and around the spleen in cases of TISPS [ 17 ]. Colour Doppler US demonstrates turbulent flow within the lesion [ 17 ].…”

“…It may also identify haematoma in and around the spleen in cases of TISPS [ 17 ]. Colour Doppler US demonstrates turbulent flow within the lesion [ 17 ]. The use of ultrasound contrast agent clearly depicts the aneurysm/pseudoaneurysm and the arterial feeder vessel simultaneously enhancing the splenic artery [ 17 ].…”

“…Colour Doppler US demonstrates turbulent flow within the lesion [ 17 ]. The use of ultrasound contrast agent clearly depicts the aneurysm/pseudoaneurysm and the arterial feeder vessel simultaneously enhancing the splenic artery [ 17 ]. Superselective angiography will finally confirm the diagnosis and the indication for endovascular therapy [ 17 ].…”
