[Aneurysm of the pancreatico-duodenal artery].

Abstract
The mean age is 50. Symptoms include acute abdominal pain, hypotensive shock, GI bleeding, biliary colic, jaundice, and/or acute anemia. Less often, pancreatico-duodenal aneurysms may be fortuitously diagnosed by abdominal imaging. Rupture of a PDAA is a grave complication with high mortality and demands urgent intervention. Arterial embolization is the treatment of choice; surgical intervention should be reserved for failures of embolization. We report a case of PDAA successfully treated by arterial embolization but which posed problems in both diagnosis and treatment.
