A case of right bulbourethral artery pseudoaneurysm due to traumatic urethral catheterization

Abstract

Traumatic urethral catheterization leading to bulbourethral artery pseudoaneurysm is exceedingly rare. We here report a case of 32-year-old male, who developed pseudoaneurysm of bulbourethral branch of right internal pudendal artery after traumatic urethral catheterization. The patient was initially managed conservatively. However, in view of recurrent gross urethral bleeding, coil angioembolization of the pseudoaneurysm was done.
