We describe a case of ruptured mesenteric artery branch aneurysm. Since it is characterized by nonspecific clinical manifestations, aneurysm in this uncommon location is usually diagnosed following complications. Definitive diagnosis requires Doppler ultrasound followed by arteriography. The purpose of this report is to describe the pitfalls of diagnosis and define an appropriate management strategy. Unlike abdominal aortic aneurysm, isolated aneurysms of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) branches are rare. Most cases are diagnosed after the occurrence of complications. Early diagnosis would be useful, since the natural course can be tragic without timely treatment. In this report, we describe one case of ruptured mesenteric artery branch aneurysm and review the literature for relevant data on the circumstances of discovery, methods of investigation, and appropriate management of these lesions.
