Abstract
Introduction
There are few reports in the literature of gastroepiploic artery aneurysm (GEAA). Therefore, there are still no established guidelines for its management.
Report
A 55-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain. Computed tomography revealed a large hematoma around the stomach with contrast extravasation at the right GEAA. An emergency laparoscopic aneurysmectomy was performed.
Discussion
We report our experience of successful laparoscopic aneurysmectomy for a ruptured GEAA.
