Abstract:
Neurologic complications after treatment of internal iliac artery (IIA) aneurysms are rare, especially if confined to one IIA. We report a patient in whom profound right lower extremity paresis developed after unilateral right IIA coil embolization for treatment of a 4-cm IIA aneurysm, despite the presence of a patent contralateral IIA. This case illustrates the important, yet unpredictable, nature of pelvic blood flow to the distal spinal cord and lumbosacral plexus and the unpredictable consequence of IIA occlusion.
