Abstract
Pseudoaneurysm of the splenic artery is a rare vascular complication of chronic pancreatitis, with a high mortality rate. Haemorrhage and abdominal pain are the most common manifestations, and so far there are no literature reviews on the rare complication of splenic artery pseudoaneurysm due to chronic pancreatitis. Therefore, we describe a male patient with worsening haemochezia and upper abdominal pain, who had been hospitalized repeatedly for 'pancreatitis' 1 year ago, and relevant investigations confirmed a pseudoaneurysm of the splenic artery, which was successfully treated by transarterial embolization, and a literature review is also presented.
