“…Open surgery is still often advocated for this type of lesions. 5 We report on successful percutaneous embolization of a giant IMV aneurysm caused by an AVF. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 1.…”

Giant Inferior Mesenteric Vein Aneurysm Secondary to Iatrogenic Inferior Mesenteric Arteriovenous Fistula

Purpose: Visceral venous aneurysms are rare, especially in the inferior mesenteric vein (IMV). We report a giant IMV aneurysm secondary to an iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Case Report: A woman presented with an incidental finding of a 7 cm large IMV aneurysm and an inferior mesenteric arteriovenous shunt. The patient underwent successful endovascular occlusion of the shunt to avoid aneurysm rupture and portal hypertension. Conclusion: Embolization is a possible treatment strategy for mesenteric venous aneurysms with an AVF. Clinical Impact We describe an unusual mesenteric AV-shunt from a surgical crush injury that caused a giant venous mesenteric aneurysm and offer technical aspects on minimally invasive endovascular treatment.

“…4 Open surgery is still often recommended. 5 Aneurysms of the inferior mesenteric vein (IMV) are extremely rare and only 2 cases have been reported to our best knowledge. 6 In a systematic review of 176 patients with 198 visceral venous aneurysms, only one IMV aneurysm was identified.…”

We present a rare case of spontaneous intrasplenic varix in a patient with chronic liver disease and portal hypertension. The venous collaterals and presence of portal hypertension was incidentally detected by abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomographic imaging during evaluation of a suspected abdominal trauma following a road traffic accident. There have been a few reports of splenic vein aneurysms in the extrasplenic location. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of intrasplenic varix that developed in an adult with chronic liver disease and portal hypertension which is a rare manifestation of a well-known disease.

Splenic vein aneurysm (SVA) rupture is a rare clinical entity, with few case reports detailing its occurrence during pregnancy. We describe a case of a SVA rupture and present a systematic review of the literature in relation to splenic vein rupture, with or without aneurysm. Our case was of a 30‐year‐old woman, Para 4 at 37 weeks' gestation who presented with significant abdominal pain and subsequent maternal collapse. Massive intra‐abdominal hemorrhage was identified, with splenic vessel rupture suspected. A splenectomy and partial pancreatectomy were performed along with massive blood product transfusion. There was both maternal and fetal survival with no long‐term sequelae at follow‐up. Histological examination of the spleen and its vessels noted a SVA rupture. In a subsequent systematic review of the literature, we identified 10 cases of splenic vein rupture with only two previously documented cases of SVA rupture in pregnancy. Maternal and fetal survival has only been reported in two cases of splenic vein rupture, with ours being a third.
