Giant Left Gastric Artery Aneurysm (LGAA): Case Report and Review of Literature

Abstract

1. Abstract
LGAAs are a rare entity, with higher incidence in patients suffering from chronic pancreatitis and stomach cancer. Their clinical presentation is predominantly asymptomatic; however, they can lead to rupture and death. Diagnosis is often incidental, by CT angiography performed for other pathologies or in case of acute abdominal pain following rupture.
