Ruptured splenic artery aneurysm in pregnancy presenting in a manner similar to pulmonary embolus.

We report a patient, 33 weeks pregnant with twins, who sustained a ruptured splenic artery aneurysm. This presented with left sided chest pain, breathlessness, low oxygen saturations and electrocardiogram (ECG) changes supportive of a diagnosis of massive pulmonary embolus. The diagnosis of splenic artery rupture was made at emergency Caesarean section performed for fetal distress.
