Splenic artery aneurysm rupture during pregnancy.
Nursing for Women's Health 2013 December

A rare cause of left upper quadrant pain during pregnancy is splenic artery aneurysm rupture, which can result in massive hemorrhage and maternal and fetal mortality. In women who survive, serious complications from bleeding and multiple transfusions require intensive care.
