Ruptured mycotic splenic artery aneurysm: angiographic diagnosis.
A case of ruptured artery aneurysm is presented, emphasizing the pre-operative angiographic diagnosis of a difficult clinical problem. Although some patients have been operated on without angiography, this may prove of some difficulty if the diagnosis is not suspected. Awareness of potential routes of spread along soft tissue planes from the pancreatic bed may be of considerable importance in establishing the diagnosis.
