摘要: Summary Background Hepatic aneurysms are extremely rare with very few cases reported, and most have been source of misdiagnosis clinical pitfalls in emergency medicine. Presentation intra-abdominal hemorrhage is associated a high mortality rate. Case report We the case an adult male, referred for severe acute pain left lower chest-upper quadrant abdomen pain. present multislice contrast-enhanced CT-scanning angiographic findings, life-saving trancatheter embolization, using fragments absorbable gelatin sponge. Emergency doctors should consider ruptured hepatic artery differential diagnosis abdominal promptly cooperate endovascular specialists to treat this life-threatening condition.
