title: Adrenal pseudoaneurysm due to blunt trauma.
abstract: Blunt trauma to adrenal glands causing pseudoaneurysm is relatively uncommon. We report a case of an adrenal pseudoaneurysm in a young man who had a blunt abdominal trauma. The pseudoaneurysm was embolized. Pseudoaneurysm formation is a significant, albeit rare complication and can lead to adrenal hemorrhage. Currently, best treatment option is embolization. There is little known about natural course of a pseudoaneurysm, and there are no controlled trails in regard to follow up computed tomography (CT) scans in blunt solid organ injury.
