A rare case of gastric varices and splenic artery aneurysm secondary to splenic arteriovenous fistula.

Abstract

A 33-year-old male with no relevant medical history presented with a few months of fatigue and reduced exercise tolerance and was found to have iron-deficiency anemia. An esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a cluster of isolated gastric fundal varices with high-risk stigmata. Serologic workup for cirrhosis was negative, and a FibroScan measured liver stiffness at 4.2 kilopascals. Computed tomography (CT) of his abdomen and pelvis showed non-cirrhotic portal hypertension, as well as the presence of a splenic arteriovenous (AV) fistula and splenic artery aneurysm (SAA). Resection of the fistula, SAA, and spleen completely resolved the gastric varices and anemia.
