Abstract
A 63-year-old woman patient was presented with 3 visceral artery aneurysms, which were identified accidentally at nuclear magnetic resonance imaging carried out because of small mass in the left adrenal gland, which was suspected by ultrasound. Computed tomography (CT) examination was indicated and showed fusiform aneurysm on splenic artery, saccular aneurysm of right renal artery, and saccular aneurysm of left segmental renal artery. Also, she experienced hypertension, cardiomyopathy, thyroid gland strum with normal hormone levels, osteoporosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. The patient was treated by open conventional surgery followed by end-to-end anastomosis reconstructions firstly of the right renal and then splenic artery. In 5 days, the patient was released from hospital in good condition. Control CT examination in 9 months did not show enlargement of remaining aneurysm. Histopathology confirmed just typical aneurysm degeneration based on atherosclerosis.Entities:
