Figure 2 Computed tomography angiography.
A: Non contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) shows a large mass, with partially calcified wall, adjacent to the spleen; B and C: The opacification of the aneurysm is partial and low, because of its large volume and low pressure; C: It is packed to the posterior wall of the stomach (arrow head); D and E: Two small aneurysms of the left gastric artery (D, arrow) and ileocolic artery (E, arrow) are also evident; F: After contrast injection, CT shows a splenic artery fully replaced by a giant aneurysm (10.5 cm in maximum diameter, panel f, coronal view), partially thrombosed.
