Bilateral mycotic aneurysm of the superior gluteal artery

Abdellatif Bouarhroum et al. Ann Vasc Surg. 2009 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Gluteal artery aneurysms are rare and mostly secondary to blunt or penetrating trauma. As an absolute rarity, we report an exceptional presentation of bilateral mycotic aneurysm of the superior gluteal artery in a 16-year-old boy associated with bacterial endocarditis. The left pseudoaneurysm was ruptured and treated using open surgery; 1 week later, the right location was successfully treated by embolization.
