Lumbar arterial rupture secondary to iliopsoas hemorrhage in a hemophiliac patient

Acta Haematol. 1984;71(2):128-9. doi: 10.1159/000206571.

Abstract

A 62-year-old subhemophiliac patient developed a severe iliopsoas hemorrhage following minor trauma. CT scanning revealed a large iliopsoas hematoma and intraperitoneal hemorrhage. Angiography demonstrated active bleeding from the fourth right lumbar artery, a complication of an iliopsoas hematoma not previously described.
