[A case of ischias as a complication of internal iliac artery embolization].
A case of severe right radicular ischias following embolization is reported. Gelfoam powder and pledgets were used for right internal iliac artery embolization in the case of intractable bladder cancer hemorrhage. It is supposed that previous radiotherapy and fine embolic material may be the contributing factors to this complication.
