Abstract
Most aneurysms of the visceral arteries are found accidentally in an asymptomatic stage of development. Routine angiography for the diagnosis of vascular, gastroduodenal, and oncologic disease may reveal them. They pose a serious threat, owing to the possibility of rupture or of peripheral thromboembolization. Opinions differ regarding the necessity for conservative versus operative treatment [2, 11, 15, 17]. Since the etiology, symptoms, and management of aneurysms depend on their localization, a discussion of their occurrence in individual arteries is not only reasonable, but indispensable.
