Popis: Gastroduodenal artery aneurysms have a low incidence of less than 1.5% of all splanchnic aneurysms. Rupture is frequent and life-threatening. The diagnosis is made by CT scan and by coeliac angiography, which also plays a therapeutic role in stable or stabilized patients. Surgery remains the treatment of choice in case of hemodynamic instability. We reviewed the case of a ruptured aneurysm of the gastroduodenal artery mimicking a tumor of the pancreas’ head in a patient who died following a hemorrhagic shock.
