Pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm. Case report with literature review.
Pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms are quite rare; only 5 cases have been reported in the Chinese literature. The variable clinical presentations and high incidence of rupture make it difficult to diagnose and treat. In this paper we report a case of inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm with literature review. The case was found incidentally during a cholecystectomy and was later successfully treated by elective surgery.
