title: Traumatic pseudoaneurysm of bulbourethral artery managed by coil embolization.
abstract: Urethral injury is a common form of urogenital trauma in males. Urethral injuries can be diagnosed with ease in emergency due to the presence of blood clot at external urethral meatus or inability to catheterize the urethra. Stricture formation is usual sequelae of such injuries. Uncontrolled urethral hemorrhage is a relatively rare complication which can present either as immediate or delayed. Such injuries can be managed conservatively in majority; however, if uncontrolled may require interventional management. Such patients usually have underlying pseudoaneurysm formation or arteriovenous fistula. Here, we are reporting a case of bulbar urethral injury which presented with delayed uncontrolled urethral hemorrhage. On angiography, pseudoaneurysm arising from left bulbourethral artery with active urethral extravasation was noted and was managed with coil embolization.
