Abstract
A case of posttraumatic fistula of the internal pudendal artery-urethra is reported. The patient was referred with prolonged pulsatile gross hematuria requiring multiple blood transfusions after a motor vehicle accident. Associated injuries included a comminuted pubic ramus fracture. Initial uroradiographic evaluations did not identify the site of origin of hematuria but eventually selective angiography allowed diagnosis. Selective arterial embolization of the internal pudendal artery provided definitive treatment.
