Hydatid disease can occur in all viscera and soft tissues, although the liver and the lungs are the organs most commonly involved. Isolated splenic involvement with the disease is extremely rare. Splenic hydatid cysts may suppurate, fistulise to adjacent organs, or rupture into the peritonaeal cavity. However, acute, massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding due to splenocolic communication resul...

Splenic injury is a rare but serious complication of bariatric surgical procedures. Given that the need for dissection of the gastrosplenic ligament during bariatric surgical procedures, splenic injury is not unfathomable. While most subcapsular splenic hematomas may be self-limiting, continued expansion may result in splenic rupture and should, therefore, be handled with great care. With the g...

Afibrinogenemia is a rare bleeding disorder which is observed with an incidence of 1:1 000 000. It is an autosomal recessive disease and occurs as a result of mutation in one of the three genes which code the three polypeptide chains of fibrinogen. Basic clinical findings include spontaneous bleeding, bleeding after minor trauma or due to surgery. Splenic rupture in afibrinogenemia has been rep...

Splenic artery aneurysm is a rare pathology, asymptomatic for a long time. It's in fact often revealed by its complications, such as the rupture and potentially fatal acute haemorrhage. It's incidentally discovered during instrumental exams, performed for other reasons, like the case of our woman, affected by ulcerating rectocolitis and suffering from renal colic pain, demonstrated. While surgi...

Regrowth of splenic tissue after splenectomy for trauma and splenectomy for idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura have been reported. However, rupture of splenic tissue, either spontaneous or traumatic, that requires a second surgical intervention for hemoperitoneum caused by a ruptured splenic nodule or splenosis has rarely been reported. We report the case of a 43-year-old man in whom hemoperit...

Abstract Pseudoaneurysms as compared with aneurysms lack a true wall and have higher propensity of rupture. Visceral artery pseudoaneurysms are uncommon life-threatening. We, hereby, report anesthetic management rare case splenic pseudoaneurysm that accompanied the dilatation aorta from its origin extending up to bifurcation.
