Abstract

Pseudoaneurysm of the splenic artery has been rarely reported and the Doppler echocardiographic finding seldom described. Herein we report a rare case of huge extrasplenic pseudoaneurysm, which was detected by color flow Doppler ultrasonography and successfully treated by ligation of the splenic artery and resection of the pseudoaneurysm.
