Abstract
- We report a case of retroperitoneal hemorrhage and abdominal wall hemorrhage due to spontaneous lumbar artery and inferior epigastric artery rupture, in a patient with chronic renal failure treated with hemodialysis. There was no history of specific trauma. The bleeding was confirmed by CT and angiography, and controlled successfully by selective angiographic embolization. We suggest that a possibility of spontaneous retroperitoneal bleeding should be considered in a case of abdominal pain or mass in a hemodialysis patient.
