Splenic Artery Pseudoaneurysm

Hemosuccus pancreaticus (HP) and hemobilia (HB) are uncommon causes of upper gastrointestinal bleed. In this report, 4 cases of HP and 1 case of HB with intermittent bleeding are described. The causes of HP are rupture of splenic artery pseudoaneurysm in 3 and gastroduodenal artery aneurysm in one. The cause of HB is due to cystic artery bleed. HP can be secondary to chronic or acute pancreatitis with bleeding from pseudoaneurysm arising from peripancreatic arteries. Iatrogenic transhepatic techniques, trauma, operative injuries, malignancy, and inflammation in hepatobiliary system are the common causes of HB. All the cases are missed on first endoscopy and diagnosed on second‑look endoscopy. A strong clinical suspicion is required at first endoscopy for early diagnosis and management. This case report compares presentation of HP with HB, diagnosis, and their management.

Splenic Artery Pseudoaneurysm

Splenic artery aneurysm and splenic artery pseudoaneurysm are rare vascular pathologies. The splenic artery represents the third most common site for intra-abdominal aneurysms. In contrast with true splenic artery aneurysm, splenic artery pseudoaneurysm is typically symptomatic, presenting with a range of symptoms, from abdominal pain to hemodynamic instability due to rupture. However, gastrointestinal hemorrhage is an uncommon complication of splenic artery pseudoaneurysm. We report a case of acute upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage due to splenic artery pseudoaneurysm rupture. The patient was successfully treated by endovascular intervention.

We present a case of a 69-year-old female who arrived in hemorrhagic shock with symptoms of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Imaging on admission was diagnostic of a large splenic artery pseudoaneurysm, which was presumed to have bled into the pancreatic duct given clinical symptoms of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated with coil embolization resulting in resolution of clinical symptoms.
