Abstract:
A 45-year-old man with severe left flank pain was brought by ambulance to our hospital early in the morning. On arrival, his circulation dynamics were stable. His urinalysis results were normal, and ultrasonography showed no hydronephrosis. Abdominal dynamic computed tomography (CT) showed a huge retroperitoneal hematoma suspected of hemorrhage from a left adrenal artery aneurysm. After 3 hours of absolute bed rest, the patient experienced episodes of anemia, decreased blood pressure and increased pulse. Recheck of CT showed bleeding into the peritoneal cavity. Therefore, the patient was immediately treated with transcatheter arterial embolization.
