A patient experienced spontaneous intercostal artery rupture, a rare event causing flank pain. Successful transcatheter arterial embolisation treated the bleeding, highlighting a potential cause and treatment for this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Spontaneous intercostal artery rupture is a rare cause of flank pain.
  • Hypertension is a potential contributing factor, though other causes and trauma were absent in this case.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with acute right flank pain during sleep.
  • Physical examination and medical history revealed no trauma or other predisposing conditions, apart from hypertension.

Findings:

  • Arteriography confirmed rupture of the right 10th and 11th intercostal arteries.
  • Transcatheter arterial embolisation was performed successfully to stop the bleeding.

Implications:

  • This case, the second reported, emphasizes spontaneous intercostal artery rupture as a distinct clinical entity.

  • Understanding the etiology, vulnerable locations, and effective treatments like embolisation is crucial for managing such rare vascular events.
