ABSTRACT
Acquired vascular anomalies are the cause of approximately 5% of externalized upper bleeding.[1.2] Splenic artery aneurysms (SAA) are a rare and mostly asymptomatic pathological entity, occurring preferentially from the fifth decade onwards. Their rupture is a potentially serious complication. The objective of this work is to review this rare cause of digestive hemorrhage through an observation of a splenic artery aneurysm revealed by upper GI bleeding.
