title: [Ruptured splenic artery aneurysm in pregnancy--a case report].
abstract: Ruptured splenic artery aneurysm in pregnancy is a serious condition with high mortality rates for both mother and child. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention without delay is essential to avoid a fatal outcome. The diagnosis should be considered in pregnant women with upper abdominal pain. We describe a patient with ruptured splenic artery aneurysm in pregnancy. Both mother and child survived.
