Pancreatitis, Splenic artery pseudoaneurysm, AngioembolizationAbstract
Splenic artery pseudoaneurysms are a rare complication of pancreatitis and abdominal trauma in children. We report a case of splenic artery pseudoaneurysm complicating pancreatitis (idiopathic) that was managed by transcatheter angioembolization.
