ABSTRACT
Hepatic artery aneurisms are infrequent and most are asymptomatic. Clinical presentation is variable but the most frequent form is rupture, complicated by hemoperitoneum and shock. We present the case of a patient who, 2 years after undergoing surgery for a dissecting aortic aneurysm, presented to the emergency room with obstructive jaundice, caused by a hepatic artery aneurism.
