title: Hepatic aneurysm: a review.
abstract: Originally described over 220 years ago, the clinical scenario of hepatic aneurysms remains incompletely understood. Moreover, its optimal treatment has yet to be defined. The present paper reviews the literature regarding this pathological state of the abdomen and discusses what is known regarding the presentation, diagnosis, and anatomy of hepatic arterial aneurysms.
