Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, Hopital Saint Joseph, Gilly, Belgium.

A 13-year-old child presented with a ruptured aneurysm of the trunk of the superior mesenteric artery most likely due to incipient fibromuscular disease localized in the adventitia. The aneurysm was resected and replaced by an autologous saphenous vein graft. The postoperative course was uneventful. Diagnosis and operative strategy are discussed.
