A rare presentation of spontaneous rupture of splenic vein aneurysm as cardiac arrest: A case report

Abstract

Splenic vein aneurysm (SVA) is a rare condition associated primarily with portal hypertension. This case highlights a potentially fatal, rare SVA complication in a young patient who presented in cardiac arrest, creating a diagnostic enigma in the emergency department until a POCUS revealed a possible underlying etiology.

Keywords: aneurysm; cardiac arrest; spleen; splenic vein rupture.
