Spontaneous rupture of a splenic artery aneurysm with splenic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare condition. Splenic artery aneurysm can be complicated by rupture resulting in hypovolemic shock, which can be fatal if not treat properly. We report a case of a 50-year-old man who presented with sudden onset of left upper quadrant pain and shock. This patient underwent splenectomy with distal pancreatectomy. His pathological diagnosis showed splenic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.

Abstract Spontaneous rupture of a splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) during pregnancy is a rare but life-threatening situation typically presenting with sudden and unexpected fetal and maternal death. The etiology is unclear; however, there is a strong association between pregnancy and the rupture of a SAA. Maternal and fetal prognosis is poor and mortality rates remain at 70% and 90%, respectively. Here, we present a case report of the spontaneous rupture of a SAA at the 35th week of gestation, which presented as suddenly developed hypovolemic shock ending in fetal and maternal death.

Background: A case study of a successfully treated rupture of a splenic artery aneurysm during pregnancy, an exceedingly rare condition. The natural history, typical presentation, epidemiology, investigations and available treatments are discussed. Case: A multigravid 37-year-old presented with acute left upper quadrant pain in her twentieth week of pregnancy. After resuscitation and emergency imaging the patient was diagnosed with a ruptured splenic artery aneurysm. Remaining stable after initial resuscitation allowed for endovascular coiling of her aneurysm. Discussion: The presentation of ruptured splenic artery aneurysm is rare. While pregnancy is a risk factor, it represents less than 0.1% of pregnancies. However, when it does present it is associated with a high maternal and foetal mortality rate. In this case the stability of the patient allowed for imaging to confirm the diagnosis and the provision of endovascular coiling of the aneurysm. On review of the literature the condition characteristically is diagnosed at laparotomy.
