Hepatic artery aneurysm in a child.
The present report refers to a child hospitalized because of nonspecific symptomatology, who was found to have aneurysms of both hepatic arteries. A year after simple proximal ligature of both hepatic arteries, the child remains symptom-free and developing normally. Proximal ligation appears to be a simple and effective technique for treating hepatic artery aneurysm in children in preference to direct approach of the vascular pathology.
