All cases, described in the article, are accidental findings, as a result of their asymptomatic course and extremely rare occasions. The most frequent aneurisms of spleen artery are registered (60% ), hepatic artery (1640%). In the most cases, aneurisms of visceral branches do not reveal themselves. However, one of the most dangerous complication of abdominal aorta visceral branches aneurisms is spontaneous intraperitoneal bleeding.
