[Asymptomatic aneurysm of the ileocolic artery].
Visceral aneurysms are rare and account for only 5% of all abdominal aneurysms. Most often they cause no symptoms and are therefore incidental findings. Doppler ultrasonography is the diagnostic method of choice. Therapeutic procedures can be performed either surgically of by interventional therapeutic techniques. This article presents a patient case with an ileocolic artery aneurysm.
