Iliac Artery Pseudoaneurysm

Pseudoaneurysms of the common iliac artery caused by Brucellosis are exceedingly uncommon. Infected common iliac artery pseudoaneurysms, particularly those caused by brucellosis, are more difficult to diagnose and cure than general pseudoaneurysms. The risk of mortality is significantly high in this condition. Nonsurgical treatment of a brucellosis-induced common iliac artery pseudoaneurysm is futile, and it should be operated on as soon as feasible. Long-term and multi-course antibacterial therapy with combination antibiotics is required. For the treatment of Brucella-infected pseudoaneurysms, endovascular surgery can be both effective and safe.

Iliac Artery Pseudoaneurysm

We report a unique case of a ruptured iliac artery pseudoaneurysm caused by asymptomatic gastrointestinal perforation and retroperitoneal abscess formation. A 46-year-old man presented to the Emergency Department of our institution. Angiography showed a ruptured iliac artery pseudoaneurysm caused by retroperitoneal abscess formation. After endovascular repair and surgical drainage, the cause of the abscess was finally identified as a toothpick. Findings from this case show that asymptomatic gastrointestinal foreign body perforation can be a rare, but insidious, cause of an infected pseudoaneurysm. Prompt surgical intervention is sometimes necessary when treating patients with arterial pseudoaneurysm caused by a perivascular abscess.
