Abstract

Introduction: Splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) is a rarely seen disease but with a high probability of rupture in pregnancy cases. Once a rupture occurs, both the mother's and the fetus's lives are at risk. It is rather difficult to establish a diagnosis under emergency conditions because it may be confused with obstetric pathologies.
