ABSTRACT
Aneurysms of the visceral arteries (VAAs) represent an uncommon but potentially lethal form of vascular disease. These lesions are rare, with an incidence of 0.01-0.2 per cent in routine autopsies.1 The most commonly involved vessels include the splenic, hepatic, superior mesenteric (SMA) and coeliac arteries. The gastric-gastroepiploic, jejunal-ilieal-colic, pancreaticoduodenal-pancreatic, gastroduodenal and inferior mesenteric arteries are less often involved.
