Aneurisma roto de artéria esplênica: flagrante tomográfico de sangramento

The splenic artery aneurysm is a rare entity and its rupture is the most feared complication. The tomographic computed scan is a potential tool in the diagnosis, and can be used to patients with a suspicion of intra-abdominal bleeding, after adequate resuscitation. A case of a 68-year old male, hypertense patient, with a ruptured splenic artery aneurysm is reported. The diagnosis and treatment were given successfully by the abdominal computed tomographic scan and conventional surgery. The tomographic computed scan can be useful to the diagnosis of ruptured splenic artery aneurism, after the hemodynamic stabilization.
