Spontaneous rupture of a true uterine artery aneurysm: a cause of retroperitoneal haematoma

M Nicolaou et al. Br J Radiol. 2004 Feb.

Abstract

We report the first case of spontaneous rupture of a true uterine artery aneurysm in a 69-year-old woman presenting with severe abdominal pain, a left iliac fossa mass, anaemia and a retroperitoneal haematoma on CT scanning. In this patient, the aneurysm was successfully embolised using microcoils. The different imaging modalities used for diagnosis and the treatment options are discussed.
