title: [Asymptomatic aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery].
abstract: The aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery is a rare diagnosis also among the group of the aneurysms of the visceral arteries. Usually it is discovered already in the state of asymptomatic aneurysm. In accordance to size and localisation an elective operation should be performed, respecting the principles of vascular surgery. We report on an own case.
