Los aneurismas de la arteria esplénica son infrecuentes y ocurren predominantemente en mujeres. La mayoría son asintomáticos.
Presentamos un caso clínico referente a una mujer 42 años con síntomas inespecíficos de dispepsia y estreñimiento.
En exámenes rutinarios (TC y ECO) se identificó un aneurisma de arteria esplénica distal de unos 2 cm. Se decidió tratamiento endovascular con coils.Tras un año de seguimiento la paciente se encontraba asintomática sin complicaciones.

Splenic artery aneurysms are rare and occur predominantly in women. Most of them are asymptomatic until rupture. We report a previously healthy 42 year-old woman who presented with non specific symptoms: dyspepsia and constipation.
Laboratory tests were normal. Subsequent examinations (ultrasound and CT) showed a large aneurysm of the splenic artery without any sign of rupture. Endovascular treatment remained successfully performed using coil embolization. During a 12- months follow-up period, the patient was asymptomatic and no evidences of complications or splenic infarction were observed on CT scans.
