Abstract: | A case of fatal hemorrhage caused by rupture of the external iliac artery aneurysm into the urinary bladder is presented. The patient, a 58-year-old Japanese female, had undergone total hysterectomy, and post-operative therapeutic radiation, for uterine cancer in 1974. A vesicocecal fistula was observed, and surgical intervention for closure was performed in May, 1992. On July, 13, 1992, she presented with pulsating hemorrhage from the urinary bladder. Angiography was consistent with rupture into the bladder of an iliac artery aneurysm. Surgical intervention for closure of the aneurysm was performed but the aneurysm could not be resected. She had relapse of the fistula which became infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MR-SA), and died 3 months postoperatively. To the best of our knowledge, there have been only 3 cases in which an iliac artery aneurysm ruptured directly into the urinary bladder. This case indicates that resection of the aneurysm for therapy is a vital requirement. |
