Superior mesenteric arteries pseudoaneurysms are rare entity, usually asymptomatic but they can appear as an abdominal pain, throbbing mass or shock, being jaundice an exceptional type of presentation. Diagnosis is made by imaging tests (CT) and currently the endovascular approach is the most widespread, reserving open surgery in selected cases. We describe the case of a patient with an 86mm SMA pseudoaneurysm with compression of the extrahepatic bile duct.
