Overview

Systematic review reveals common but rare causes of abdominal pain, highlighting risks of splenic artery aneurysms rupturing.

Key Points

  • Rupture of splenic artery aneurysms leads to high mortality rates, posing significant diagnostic challenges.
  • Approximately 10% to 20% of splenic artery aneurysms result in hemorrhage, presenting as non-focalizing abdominal pain.
  • The condition is rare, affecting about 0.2% to 10% of the general population, yet remains the most common visceral artery aneurysm.
  • Diagnostic difficulties arise in the emergency department due to variable clinical presentations and absence of specific signs.
