Pseudo-aneurysm of the splenic artery is a rare phenomenon in young males without risk factors and its rupture represents a true emergency. This condition is difficult to diagnose because the symptomatology is often blurred and not straight. Diagnosis should be as fast as possible to reduce patient mortality. With this case report we would like to report our experience of a successfully managed case of splenic artery pseudo-aneurysm rupture in a young man without risk factors and with a history of sleeve gastrectomy.
