Splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) is a potentially lethal vascular disease second in frequency only to the intraabdominal aortic and iliac artery aneurysms. Even though first described in 1770, considerable controversy continues regarding its etiology, pathogenesis, and management. Recent clinicopathologic observations and surgical advances have done much to reduce the controversies and improve the prognosis.

The various aspects of diagnosis and management of SAA should be simpli fied and made familiar to all physicians, surgeons, and obstetricians because the disease entity is likely to be encountered in one form or the other at some time during their practice. Therefore, in this concise review we have discussed the current status of incidence, etiology, pathology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, man agement, and prognosis of SAA based on our and others' experiences.
