Abstract
Splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) are rare and can be fatal if they rupture. They present with abdominal pain, melena, distension and tenderness of
abdomen. We are reporting this case, since rupture of SAA is rare occurrence and there are a few unusual imaging findings observed. MDCT played a vital
role in diagnosing the rupture, facilitating the treatment. Presence of gas within the infarct is not always due to infection, it may be non-suppurative as in our
case.
