ABSTRACT
Blunt aortic injures are rarely associated with minimal trauma. We present a 78-year-old man with an aortic pseudoaneurysm resulting from a simple vertebral compression fracture, which was conservatively managed. He was diagnosed with a compression fracture from a minor fall 10 days previously, and fortuitously he visited the hospital after which follow-up computed tomography (CT) for previous multiple aortic surgeries was performed. The enhanced CT revealed a pseudoaneurysm on the abdominal aorta, which was bleeding from a pinhole perforation. He was conservatively treated and follow-up CT 9 months later revealed that the pseudoaneurysm had disappeared.
