ABSTRACT
Vascular injuries which occur during lumbar disk surgery, although rare, can give rise to potentially fatal complications which may be overlooked due to a broad range of clinical manifestations, and which surgeons and radiologists should be aware of. We report a recently encountered case of pseudoaneurysm of the abdominal aorta after lumbar disc surgery, and review the associated literature.
