AbstractRenal pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication after blunt renal trauma. Only 18 cases have been reported in English-language published reports. We present a case of blunt renal trauma in an 11-year-old boy, complicated by delayed bleeding from a renal artery pseudoaneurysm. The patient was initially treated with conservative measures and was later treated with selective embolization of the pseudoaneurysm. The clinical presentation, management options, and clinical decisions are discussed.
