A pseudoaneurysm is a rare and potentially dangerous vascular complication of acute pancreatitis, with a mortality of 20–43% in untreated patients. Its treatment includes embolization or surgical resection. A clinical case of a 39-year-old patient, with a history of chronic pancreatitis, pseudocyst of the tail of the pancreas, as well as a false aneurysm of the splenic artery detected by means of computed tomography of abdominal organs with contrast is presented. A two-stage surgical procedure was performed. The patient was discharged in a satisfactory condition. This case shows a successful use of diagnostic techniques, as well as a stage-by-stage approach to surgical treatment of this pathology. Received 20 April 2017. Accepted 7 June 2017.
