Spontaneous gastroduodenal artery aneurysm rupture in acute surgery
Jessica Savage, Li Hsee

Abstract


Among the rarest of the visceral aneurysms, gastroduodenal artery (GDA) aneurysms often present with spontaneous rupture and are associated with a high mortality rate. Their aetiology is poorly understood. This report describes a case of haemorrhagic shock due to sudden GDA aneurysm rupture in a patient with a significant autoimmune history.
