Spontaneous thrombosis in a post-traumatic Splenic pseudo-aneurysm.
Introduction: Splenic pseudo-aneurysm is an uncommon complication following splenic injury caused by blunt abdominal trauma. Pseudo-aneurysm is usually treated with splenic arterial embolisation. Spontaneous thrombosis of a splenic pseudo-aneurysm can occur but it is rare. Method: We report a cas...

| description | Introduction: Splenic pseudo-aneurysm is an uncommon complication following splenic
injury caused by blunt abdominal trauma. Pseudo-aneurysm is usually treated with splenic
arterial embolisation. Spontaneous thrombosis of a splenic pseudo-aneurysm can occur
but it is rare. Method: We report a case of spontaneous thrombosis in a post-traumatic
splenic pseudo-aneurysm. The patient was managed conservatively as he was
haemodynamically stable with a repeat CT scan on the 7th day showing a tubular enhancing
structure in the upper pole of the spleen demonstrating the same attenuation value .
Conclusion: This case illustrates a spontaneous resolution of splenic pseudo-aneurysm,
which is a rare outcome of the condition. |
