Splenic artery aneurysm with systemic lupus erythematosus is rare but serious. We report a case of a 45-year-old female with systemic lupus erythematosus who presented with a splenic artery aneurysm of anomalous origin from the superior mesenteric artery. This is the first time to report about using an endovascular approach to treat splenic artery aneurysm combined with systemic lupus erythematosus. Endovascular repair of the aneurysm was conducted using a covered stent and multiple coils to exclude both the aneurysm and total splenic artery embolization for treating thrombocytopenia, and this approach was determined to be safe and effective for yielding short-term results.
