description | This article presents the case of a 58-year-old woman who presented feeling unwell with pain in the right upper abdomen for three days. She had a history of splenic infarcts, was on lifelong warfarin and had recently returned from a trip to Gambia. She was admitted to the hospital under suspicion of sepsis of unknown origin, and a CT scan later revealed haemoperitoneum along with a pseudoaneurysm of the right colic artery. After initially responding to resuscitation, the patient deteriorated haemodynamically, and a decision was made to perform a laparotomy, revealing a ruptured right colic artery pseudoaneurysm. In this article, the authors highlight the challenges of managing a complex unwell patient with a ruptured right colic artery pseudoaneurysm, emphasising the importance of a multi-disciplinary team approach and shared decision-making and reviewing the available literature. |
