Rupture of a splenic artery aneurysm is a rare event associated with high mortality rates. Aneurysm of the splenic artery associated with fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is even rarer, with only 3 previously reported cases. We report a patient with previously undiagnosed FMD who required emergent intervention because of a ruptured splenic aneurysm. In discussion, we present an overview of literature on splenic aneurysms and FMD, together with pathology and treatment.

D005352 Fibromuscular Dysplasia An idiopathic, segmental, nonatheromatous disease of the musculature of arterial walls, leading to STENOSIS of small and medium-sized arteries. There is true proliferation of SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS and fibrous tissue. Fibromuscular dysplasia lesions are smooth stenosis and occur most often in the renal and carotid arteries. They may also occur in other peripheral arteries of the extremity.
