A 73-year-old woman presented with a minimally symptomatic SMA aneurysm, which was resected by laparoscopic surgical technique. The patient recovered quickly and remained well after 8 months of follow-up. This case report and literature review presents a rare mycotic aneurysm that developed in the SMA. Laparoscopic surgery can be a useful technique for the treatment of mycotic SMA aneurysms.
