Abstract
|
|
|
|
A pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon but important life threatening complication of chronic pancreatitis. The arteries most commonly affected by a pseudoaneurysm are (in decreasing percent occurrence), the splenic (40%), gastroduodenal (30%), pancreaticoduodenal (20%), gastric (5%), hepatic (2%), and others (superior mesenteric, jejunal, ileocecal, and aorta) (1-3%). Thrombosis of the splenic or portal vein is another important complication of chronic pancreatitis. In this case report, we present a rare complication in the form of a right hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm which developed within the thrombosed right portal vein of a 35-year-old woman afflicted with chronic pancreatitis.
