An Institutional Review of Splenic Artery Aneurysm in Childbearing-Aged Females and Splenic Artery Aneurysm Rupture During Pregnancy. Is Screening Justified?

Abstract: Radiologic screening of all childbearing-aged females is not warranted, but identification of those at greater risk of harboring an asymptomatic SAA, along with the early institution of treatment according to current guidelines, may prevent maternal and fetal mortality in the rare event of SAA rupture during pregnancy.

“…Le risque de rupture spontanée d'un AAS est de 3 % à 9 % dans la population générale et il est plus élevé chez les femmes (entre 20 % et 50 %) [3]. Durant le premier trimestre, bien que la grossesse extra-utérine soit la cause la plus fréquente d'hémopéritoine, une rupture d'AAS doit être évoquée devant un hémopéritoine sans masse latéro-utérine bien individualisée [4][5][6].…”

“…17 Given a prevalence of SAA of less than 0.1%, routine radiologic screening of all women of childbearing age has not been recommended. 18 However, if an SAA is detected in an asymptomatic patient, elective repair via endovascular stent graft, embolization, or ligation is recommended in the settings of pregnancy and/or size Ͼ 2 cm. 3,4 When these approaches fail, laparoscopic aneurysm resection with splenectomy has been successful, even when performed as late as the third trimester of pregnancy.…”

“…21 In order to mitigate the risk of maternal or fetal death after rupture, physicians must be aware that an SAA is a potential source of acute abdominal pains in pregnant women. 29 Other aneurysms with large numbers of reports of rupture during pregnancy include those of the aorta, and cerebral, renal, coronary, and ovarian arteries. 8 Multiparity appears to influence the incidence of SAA in women, since it is four times more common among multiparous women.…”
