Abstract

The previously clinically silent and rare splenic artery aneurysms are now being detected more frequently due to the use of Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques. The advent of Percutaneous Endovascular Embolization procedure has further made treatment of these conditions possible and safer, though with varying success rates. The combined detection and treatment possibilities have thereby decreased the chances of sudden rupture as a clinical presentation. Two cases of splenic artery aneurysm are presented, both successfully treated with Percutaneous Embolization.
