[Hepatic artery aneurysm].
Hepatic artery aneurisms are infrequent and most are asymptomatic. Clinical presentation is variable but the most frequent form is rupture, complicated by hemoperitoneum and shock. We present the case of a patient who, 2 years after undergoing surgery for a dissecting aortic aneurysm, presented to the emergency room with obstructive jaundice, caused by a hepatic artery aneurism.
