title: [Splenic aneurysm studied by angiography and CT].
abstract: An unusual case of an aneurysm on the splenic artery diagnosed as an accessory spleen on the basis of sonographic examination triggers a discussion of sonography, CT and angiography in the diagnosis of splenic aneurysms, which though rare in absolute term constitute a real threat to the patient's life giving her [correction of him] a high percentage of spontaneous ruptures when they do occur.
