Figure 1. Case 1. (A–C) Coronal-CT, three-dimensional reconstruction, and axial-CT images show pseudoaneurysmatic dilatations involved a distal branch of the splenic artery (white arrow) with an axial dimension of 6 mm. (D) Coronal-CT image after angiographic treatment with coil embolization reveals the presence of an area of infarction in the upper pole of the spleen, without clinical and laboratory sequelae.
