Abstract
The anatomy of the obturator artery in the pelvis makes this vessel and its branches prone to iatrogenic injury during pelvic surgery. We present a postoperative obturator artery pseudoaneurysm treated by transcatheter embolization. Normal and variant obturator vascular anatomy, as well as pathology related to traumatic injury of this vessel, are subsequently discussed.Entities:
