Journal of Postgraduate Medicine. 2002 Oct-Dec; 48(4): 288-9http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/116247Gastroepiploic aneurysms are extremely rare. They occur mainly in elderly men and in 90% of cases are ruptured at presentation. Visceral aneurysms though rare should be borne in mind in cases of unexplained haemorrhagic shock. We present a case of a 79-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain, hypotension and anaemia but no obvious source of bleeding. He had undergone a prior aorto-bifemoral graft. The patient refused an operation and died the following day.engAgedAneurysm, Ruptured --diagnosisGastroepiploic ArteryHumansMaleShock, Hemorrhagic --etiologyCase Reports
