case_images: An abdominal computed tomographic angiography (CTA) revealed a 14 mm splenic artery aneurysm (Figure 1) as well as a 12 mm aneurysm of the coeliac trunk.

case_images: In retrospect, on the first CT, a 9 mm focal contrast-filled dilatation of the splenic artery could already have been identified in a large hematoma (Figure 2).
