Hepatic
pseudoaneurysms were once relatively uncommon and often associated with hepatic
trauma. Currently, the main
etiology of
pseudoaneurysms is iatrogenic
injuries with the increased use of percutaneous
procedures and
laparoscopic surgery. However, a spontaneous hepatic
pseudoaneurysm is very rare. The clinical manifestations can include
pain, swelling,
thrombosis,
bleeding, and
rupture. Early
detection is critical for the proper
treatment, because ruptured
pseudoaneurysms have high
morbidity and
mortality. We present a case of spontaneous
pseudoaneurysm in the common
hepatic artery that was treated successfully with transarterial coil embolization.
