Abstract

Spontaneous unilateral adrenal haematoma secondary to a pseudoaneurysm is a rare condition and is usually associated with anomalies of the gland. Mostly, it can be treated conservatively; but in some cases, it can progress to a progressive haemorrhage with instability. We report a case of a 74-year-old male who presented with pain and hypotension secondary to a spontaneous unilateral adrenal pseudoaneurysm and retroperitoneal bleeding associated to anticoagulation, successfully treated by embolization.
