[Spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage].

A 50-year old male presented to our emergency department with sudden abdominal pain. Upon arrival he was diaphoretic, pale and tachycardic. A CT showed retroperitoneal hemorrhage with suspected tumor at the left adrenal gland. He was quickly stabilized with intravenous fluids and blood transfusion. Rebleed occurs roughly a week after discharge and a new CT showed a visceral pseudoaneurysm from the left middle adrenal artery. The pseudoaneurysm was embolized and the patient discharged in good condition. Follow-up MRI depicted reabsorption of the hematoma and no adrenal tumor. Thus, the etiology of the previous retroperitonal hemorrhage is considered spontaneous.
