A 59-year-old woman was admitted because of vomiting, CT examinations it was determined that the cause of vomiting was duodenal stenosis due to hematoma after rupture of the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm. In addition, it was believed that the aneurysm had been caused by obstruction of the celiac artery. The aneurysm of the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery was detected by angiography, and embolization was performed using coils. The embolization was successful. Since then the duodenal stenosis improved and the vomiting symptoms disappeared. We reviewed 28 cases of duodenal stenosis due to rupture of the pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm in the Japanese literature.
