title: [Diagnosis and differential diagnosis of hepatic artery aneurysms].
abstract: Four cases of intra- and extrahepatic aneurysms of the hepatic artery are discussed concerning the etiology, symptoms, therapy and complication rate. The diagnostic approach and problems in differential diagnosis are specified. Localization of the aneurysm and especially the relationship of the collateral circulation of the hepatic bed are essential to plan the therapy and are based on angiography. Interventional therapeutic techniques are favored for intrahepatic localization. Reconstructive or ablative surgery is indicated to treat the extrahepatic aneurysm.
