Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is an infrequently encountered entity that is usually seen secondary to trauma or surgical procedures. The clinical presentation is often due to complications such as massive intrahepatic or intraperitoneal bleeding as a result of rupture of the pseudoaneurysm into the biliary tree or peritoneal cavity, respectively. ⋯ The case was successfully managed by percutaneous endovascular embolization. The association between a hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm and a liver abscess must not be overlooked, bearing in mind the potentially fatal associated complications which can be averted or treated by timely intervention.
