Popis: A 70-year-old woman with an intraperitoneal hemorrhage is presented. Preoperatively she was noted to have blood in her left flank on paracentesis. Her abdomen was noted to swell when she was transfused rapidly with whole blood. At operation a ruptured aneurysm of a branch of the left gastric artery was found and the vessel was ligated. She died suddenly post-operatively. At autopsy no special disease of blood vessels was identifiable. This is the third case report in the world literature of intraperitoneal hemorrhage from a rupture of an aneurysm of a branch of the left gastric artery.
