Deskripsi

Lumbar artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare adverse event that is presented in reports. It is associated with serious injuries such as in the retroperitoneal cavity and pelvis. Furthermore, infection and iatrogenic etiology were documented as well. This case report presents a patient with a chest stab wound and a fall from a 2-m height, which resulted in multiple spinal fractures that were treated surgically. However, he presented back with lumbar artery pseudoaneurysm 2 weeks postoperatively, which was treated successfully by endovascular embolization.
