Abstract
We report the case of a 79-year-old patient whose acute back pain revealed a 9-cm nonruptured lumbar artery pseudoaneurysm occurring 5 years after a vertebral body osteomyelitis that induced a significant vertebral destruction. She underwent an urgent percutaneous selective arterial embolization. Lumbar artery false aneurysm should, thus, be suspected as a possible etiology of any new painful symptoms in patients suffering from a chronic vertebral destructive disease.
