Abstract

Pseudoaneurysms are rare in urology and typically have a delayed presention with intermittent episodes of bleeding. We report a patient who presented with delayed and recurent hemoperitoneum following robotic assisted laparoscopic salvage radical prostatectomy and was found to have a pseudoaneurysm in the corona mortis artery.
