    AbstractTraumatic aneurysms of the superior mesenteric artery, although uncommon, are nevertheless life-threatening because of their high risk of rupture.

The clinical manifestation of repeated episodes of abdominal pain did not recur after resection of the aneurysm and interposition of a venous autograft.
