[Embolization of a false arterial aneurysm in a patient living with one kidney: about a rare complication of percutaneous nephrolithotomy]. / Embolisation d'un faux anévrisme artériel sur rein unique: à propos d'une complication rare de la néphrolithotomie percutanée.

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is a potentially invasive technique associated with a risk of complications, in particular bleeding. We report the case of a 70-year old female patient who had only left kidney and with a history of renal calculi treated with percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Persistent, average abundant haematuria had occurred two and a half months before, requiring computerized tomography (CT) scan. This had showed false iatrogenic intrarenal inferior polar aneurysm. It required effective selective embolization of biological glue.
