%X Post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the gastric artery is very rare. Prompt diagnosis and management are necessary because mortality is high due to massive intra-abdominal hemorrhage. A 79-year-old man complained of abdominal pain after slipping down 2£¿days prior to admission. Abdominal computed tomography showed some hemoperitoneum with suspicious contrast leakage and aneurysmal change of the left gastric artery. Pseudoaneurysm of the left gastric artery was treated by angioembolization. After the angioembolization, he recovered without any problems. Delayed pseudoaneurysm of the gastric circulation should always be kept in mind as a possible cause of delayed hemoperitoneum
