Introduction: The etiology of true and false splenic artery aneurysm is different, but the differential X-ray contrast diagnosis could be difficult. Purpose - to detect endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) diagnostic capability for false and true splenic artery aneurysm by considering two clinical cases: With suspected stomach and pancreatic lesions.
Materials and Methods: First case: Patient, female, 50-year-old with suspected stomach lesion, complicated by gastric bleeding. Endoscopy - acute gastric ulcer. X-ray - submucosal gastric tumor. The patient was sent to the EUS with fine-needle aspiration. Second case: Patient, male, 73-year-old with suspected pancreatic neoplasm. Ultrasound - pancreatic cysts. Computed tomography (CT) - neoplasm of the pancreas body. Celiacography - splenic artery aneurysm. The patient was sent to the EUS to clarify the diagnosis.
Results: First patient EUS - anechoic rounded lesion with thick wall close to the stomach. Stomach wall layers were not differentiated above the lesion. Doppler - turbulent blood flow. EUS excluded submucosal lesion and proved the presence of aneurysm. CT confirmed the aneurysm. Post-operative histology - splenic artery pseudoaneurysm, destruction of the stomach wall and pancreatic parenchyma. Second patient EUS - ovoid solid-cystic lesion with thin hyperechoic "capsule." Doppler in cystic part - arterial blood flow. EUS suspected saccular splenic artery aneurysm with the neck and the residual lumen. Post-operative histology - true splenic artery aneurysm with thrombotic masses near the wall, pancreatic parenchyma was intact.
Conclusion: EUS can reliably differentiate splenic artery aneurysm from gastric submucosal lesion and differentiate true and false aneurysm with high probability.
