- Abstract
- A 65-year-old male patient was referred to our hospital for postprandial abdominal pain. Computed tomography and angiography revealed 2 aneurysms of the right gastroepiploic artery, which were measured 0.8 x 1.3 cm and 1.9 x 3.4 cm. Excision of 2 saccular and fusiform aneurysms by laparotomy was performed. His hospital course was uneventful and symptoms disappeared after surgery. A gastroepiploic artery aneurysm can cause recurrent abdominal pain and surgical resection is warranted in symptomatic aneurysms. (J Korean Surg Soc 2010;78-423-425)
