Abstract:
Rupture of a renal artery aneurysm is an acute surgical event with a high associated mortality rate. We report an unusual case of acute retroperitoneal hemorrhage from a ruptured renal artery aneurysm that resolved spontaneously with resultant pseudoaneurysm formation. Elective surgical management was performed with a simplified technique involving ligation of the neck of the renal artery aneurysm.
