Abstract

Aneurysm of the cystic artery is not common, and it is a rare cause of hemobilia. Most of reported cases are pseudoaneurysms resulting from either an inflammatory process in the abdomen or abdominal trauma. We report a healthy individual who developed hemobilia associated with cystic artery aneurysm. Visceral artery aneurysms are rare and can rupture with potentially grave outcome due to excessive bleeding. The patient was managed with cholecystectomy and concomitant aneurysm repair.
