Splenic Artery Pseudoaneurysm in the Setting of Acute Pancreatitis and Valproate in a 12 Year Old Male

Grant Morris

Splenic artery pseudoaneurysm, a rare complication of pancreatitis, carries a potentially high mortality rate and must be considered in recurrent pancreatitis. Advances in diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, especially endovascular embolization, have decreased morbidity and mortality. We present a pediatric patient with splenic artery pseudoaneurysm following recurrent pancreatitis managed with endovascular embolization.
