Multiple splanchnic artery aneurysms. Report of a case.
It is reported the case of a patient with multiple visceral aneurysms (seven). These aneurysms are more common than usually appreciated but their multiplicity is rarely reported in the literature. Angiography should always follow surgery when a splanchnic aneurysm is recognized by chance only at operation and when the surgeon is already aware of the multiple aneurysms. It is indicated a contemporary treatment of all of them to avoid the subsequent risk of rupture which has been suggested to increase after laparotomy.
