Hypogastric artery aneurysm causing microscopic hematuria.
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.
