Traumatic Pseudoaneurysm of the Superior Rectal Artery with Recurrent Lower Gastrointestinal and Pelvic Extraperitoneal Bleeding: Importance of Pretreatment Recognition

Traumatic Pseudoaneurysm of the Superior Rectal Artery with Recurrent Lower Gastrointestinal and Pelvic Extraperitoneal Bleeding: Importance of Pretreatment Recognition

Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the superior rectal artery is a rare cause of massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding. We reported a case of a 43-year-old male patient with pseudoaneurysm following a penetrating perineal wound. The patient had repeat massive lower gastrointestinal and pelvic extraperito...
