INTRODUCTION: Splenic artery aneurysms are a rare arterial disease. They are considered as the most common visceral artery aneurysms and found mostly in multiparous women and patients with portal hypertension.
CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of an unruptured SAA of the hilum in a 58-year-old woman, with vague abdominal pain, treated by open splenectomy.
DISCUSSION: Splenic artery aneurysms are often difficult to diagnose due to their vague or asymptomatic forms. However, they present a high risk of rupture that may cause fatal hemorrhage and death. Symptomatic artery aneurysms or SAA, larger than 20 mm and aneurysms in pregnant or in women of childbearing age are indications for surgery because of the increased risk of rupture in these patients' groups. As known generally, the treatment of SAA has been surgical ligation of the splenic artery, ligation of the aneurysm or aneurysmectomy with or without splenectomy, depending on the aneurysm location. There are other percutaneous interventional procedures.
CONCLUSION: A multidisciplinary discussion is an important step in choosing the optimal treatment for visceral aneurysms. Surgical approaches should take place especially in cases where splenic perfusion is seriously threatened.
