Aneurysms affecting the splanchnic arteries are very rare, while the commonest location is splenic artery (10.4%); the gastroduodenal artery (GDA) remains the rarest site representing only 1.5% of more than 3000 reported splanchnic artery aneurysms (SAA) in literature since 1960. Though aneurysms of visceral arteries are rare, awareness and early treatment are important because the common presentation of aneurysmal rupture is associated with a high mortality rate. Majority of the GDA aneurysms documented in the literature are pseudoaneurysms associated with complications of acute or chronic pancreatitis. True giant GDA aneurysms are extremely rare, although there is no standard size criteria to define a giant GDA aneurysm, the term has been used in literature to describe aneurysms above 5 cm in size as shown in Table 1. Several cases of successful coil embolization of GDA pseudoaneurysms were already reported but we
