ABSTRACT
Superior gluteal artery rupture without pelvic fracture is extremely rare, but the rupture of this vessel is a well-known complication of pelvic fractures. This vessel appears to be at risk at the time of pelvic fracture because of its vulnerable anatomical position in the sacrosciatic notch. The rupture of this vessel causes profound hypotension and compartment syndrome of the gluteal or thigh region. Embolization is the most effective treatment. We report an unusual case of a superior gluteal artery rupture without pelvic fracture in blunt trauma.
