[Aneurysm of the left gastric artery. Clinical contribution and review of the literature].
The extra-visceral aneurysms of the gastric arteries are very rare and their diagnosis occurs mostly in the presence of haemoperitoneum and shock due to their rupture. Through echography and selective arteriography a right diagnosis can be made before a rupture. The treatment is surgical with good results but treatment with embolisation through arteriography is preconized. Two cases treated in emergency are reported.
