title: Rupture of a splenic artery aneurysm into the pancreatic duct.
abstract: A patient with hemorrhage into the pancreatic duct from a splenic artery aneurysm is presented. The angiographic, retrograde pancreatographic, and pathological findings are demonstrated. The diagnosis was established by demonstrating an enlarging aneurysm by serial angiograms. The location of the splenic artery aneurysm was confirmed by retrograde pancreatography before surgery. The distal pancreas containing the aneurysm was resected.
