Core Tip	An aneurysm in the proximal splenic artery is rare. Few cases of an aneurysm in the proximal splenic artery treated by laparoscopic techniques have been reported in the literature. We present a case of splenic artery aneurysm located in the proximal splenic artery which was treated by laparoscopic ligation with long-term preservation of splenic function. This is the first case of laparoscopic ligation of a proximal artery aneurysm with preservation of splenic function to be reported in the English literature.
