title: Hypogastric artery aneurysm causing microscopic hematuria.
abstract: Aneurysms of the hypogastric artery are rare. Most of the lesions are discovered incidentally but occasionally they produce urinary symptoms or rupture unexpectedly. We report a case of an isolated hypogastric artery aneurysm that caused painless microscopic hematuria. The natural history of these lesions and the surgical options are discussed briefly.
