AI Article Synopsis
- * A unique case of SAP rupture was linked to a large gastric ulcer caused by infection and the use of NSAIDs, highlighting the importance of understanding different risk factors.
- * Clinicians must recognize the specific enhanced CT images associated with SAP, be aware of potential complications like splenic infarction, and know about treatment options like arterial embolization for effective management.
Article Abstract
Splenic artery pseudoaneurysm (SAP) is a rare entity, which occurs when the arterial wall is composed only of the intima and media mainly caused by pancreatitis, or abdominal trauma. Regardless of size, SAP is a high mortality disease that carries a high risk of rupture, causing abdominal pain and severe pancreatic and gastrointestinal bleeding. Here, we describe a rare case of SAP rupture caused by a large gastric ulcer due to infection and NSAIDs use. Understanding the characteristic enhanced CT images of SAP, the complications of splenic infarction, and the therapeutic efficacy of arterial embolization is essential for the clinician to properly diagnose and treat SAP.
