Spontaneous total regression of post-acute pancreatitis splenic artery pseudoaneurysm: A case report and review of the literature

Splenic artery pseudoaneurysms (SAP) are uncommon but significant vascular complications frequently associated with pancreatitis. These lesions carry a substantial risk of rupture and subsequent life-threatening hemorrhage. Standard treatment typically involves surgical or endovascular intervention to prevent such catastrophic outcomes. However, this case report documents a rare instance of spontaneous regression of a SAP following severe pancreatitis, challenging the established treatment protocols and highlighting the potential for conservative management under specific conditions.
