Abstract
- Spontaneous pseudoaneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is rare. However, it may have severe life-threatening complications such as ruptures or thrombosis. Our patient has developed a pseudoaneurysm, which was being misdiagnosed as superior mesenteric vein dissection by the computed tomography angiography. The pseudoaneurysm is revealed from branches of the SMA with no specific causes and is being treated by endovascular embolization after emergency exploratory laparotomy.
