Materials and methods. The literature data and our own observation of a rare disease were provided. During the routine abdominal CT in 44 year-old patient with minimal clinical symptoms saccular aneurysm of the splenic vein (diameter – 36 mm) was found in venous contrast phase, which was deforming the contour of the pancreas tail. The excision of the aneurysm was successfully performed with distal splenorenal shunt.

Results. The article described СT-semiotics of the identified disorder, highlighted advantages and limitations of radiology methods in portal system vein aneurysms. The final diagnosis was verified with the help of histological study after the surgical treatment.

Conclusions. The multiphase CT is reliable, quick, easy to perform and highly informative method for delineation of splenic vein lesions and postoperative changes.

Keywords: CT, splenic vein, aneurysm, postoperative changes.
