(a, b) A pseudoaneurysm was observed at the splenic hilum, bulging into the gastric submucosa (white arrow). (c) Multiple hypodense, poorly enhanced lesions were observed in the spleen (black arrow). (d) An image of the pseudoaneurysm (white arrow) using a 3-dimensional (3D) volume-rendering technique (VRT).

Numerous intrasplenic hypoattenuating lesions were poorly enhanced on multiple phases, suggesting inflammatory or abscess lesions (Figure 1).
(a) Celiac trunk angiography indicates a large pseudoaneurysm at the splenic hilum, without contrast extravasation (white arrow). (b) The post-embolization angiography shows that the pseudoaneurysm is completely occluded (white arrow).

The SAP was embolized with a mixture consisting of 0.5 mL n-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) and 1.5 mL lipiodol (1:3 ratio). The final angiogram showed the complete occlusion of the pseudoaneurysm (Figure 2).
(a) The left lower lobe revealed consolidation on X-ray CT at the time of admission (black arrow). (b) The following chest X-ray indicated the development of bilateral consolidation (white arrows).
