Abstract

Acute upper digestive tract hemorrhage most often arises from gastric and esophageal vessels located in the mucosa or the submucosa. Rupture in the upper gastrointestinal tract is a classical but uncommon complication of arterial (mainly the abdominal aorta) aneurysms. Splenic artery aneurysm usually ruptures in the peritoneum, unless it is associated with a disease eroding the gastrointestinal wall. We present and describe the management of the rare occurrence of an intragastric rupture of a splenic aneurysm associated with a pancreatic cancer.
