Abstract
Splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) is a rare clinical entity that carries the risk of rupture and fatal hemorrhage. Ruptured SAA, especially during pregnancy has fateful consequences for the mother, foetus or both. The role of the Radiologist is very important in preventing mortality. A diagnosis of ruptured SAA should be considered in any pregnant patient who complains of sudden epigastric or upper abdominal pain, with or without shock. This is a report of two cases where the mothers were saved but the foetuses were lost.
