Traumatic Superior Mesenteric Artery Pseudoaneurysm: A Rare and Potentially Lethal Complication of Blunt Abdominal Trauma.
J Dow Uni Health Sci Jan ;12(1):29-30.

Pseudoaneurysm arising from the Superior mesenteric artery is very rarely seen as a complication of trauma to abdomen. It has a very low incidence and because of this reason it is less likely to be suspected in patients with traumatic injury to abdomen. If a pseudoaneurysm is ruptured, it can be a life threatening condition and this is the reason, it should always be in mind during management of patients with abdominal trauma. We have reported a case of a young female who was brought in emergency department after blunt traumatic injury to abdomen. She was having the complaints of enlarging lump in epigastric region and pain. She underwent ultrasound followed by CT angiogram and was found to have a pseudoaneurysm arising from superior mesenteric artery.
