Abstract
Splenic artery pseudoaneurysms are known to be caused by either pancre atitis or operative trauma. We present two patients who had delayed pr esentation of splenic artery pseudoaneurysms secondary to blunt abdomi nal trauma. This is the first report of splenic artery pseudoaneurysms following trauma and demonstrates the importance of follow-up compute d tomography scans in patients with splenic injuries who are treated n onoperatively.
