title: Rupture of splenic artery aneurysm during pregnancy and posterior evolution of gestation.
abstract: We present a case of splenic artery aneurysm rupture in a 26 weeks pregnant patient. Facing to the maternal collapse and after the ultrasonographical diagnosis of massive hemoperitoneum, the rapid intervention proved to be crucial in controlling the hemorrhage and allowed for the continuation of gestation and successful delivery.
