Ruptured splenic artery aneurysm in the course of acute pancreatitis

Aneurisma de arteria esplénica roto en la evolución de una pancreatitis aguda

Laca, Emilio - Segura, Juan

Resumen:

Report of a case of grave intraperitoneal hemorrhage (subcapsular splenic hematoma) which appeared on the 6th day of post - operatory of acute necrotic biliary transit pancreatitis, due to rupture oI an aneurysm of the juxtahilar segment of splenic artery. The author puts forth the hypothesis that sorne of the pancreatic patients who die in hypovolemic shock, might be treated satisfactorily provided the possibility of hemorrhage being due to erosion o'r rupture of a thick arterial or venous vessel', be considered. It is deemed ikely that formation of this type ofaneurysm be acute and secondary to the action of pancreatic enzymes on previously undamaged arterial paries.


Se informa sobre un caso de grave hemorragia intraperitoneal (hematoma subcapsular de bazo) de aparición al 69 día del post - operatorio de una pancreatitis aguda necrótica biliar de tránsito, por ruptura de aneurisma de la porción yuxta - biliar de la arteria esplénica.Se adelanta la hipótesis de que algunos de los pacientes pancreatíticos que mueren en shock hipovolémico, puedan ser satisfactoriamente tratados, si se piensa en la posibilidad de que la hemorragia se debe a la erosión oruptura de un grueso vaso arterial o venoso.Se postula la posibilidad de que este tipo de aneurisma sea de formación aguda y secundaria a la acción de las enzimas pancreáticas sobre la pared de la arteria previamente indemne.
