Abstract
Gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysms are extremely rare and fatal condition. They represent 1.5% of all visceral artery aneurysms. They are difficult to diagnose requiring use of CT scan and angiography. They are life threatening if rupture occurs. Here we report a case of child who presented to us with hematemesis and malena child was diagnosed as having gastroduodenal artery pseudoaneurysm by angiography. It was treated successfully by transcatheter embolization using metallic coils.
