We report a case of nontraumatic rupture of the lumbar artery that led to a pseudoaneurysm in the vertebral body and massive retroperitoneal to retropleural hematoma. The pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated by endovascular embolization. To our knowledge, idiopathic rupture of the lumbar artery has been reported in a limited number of cases and pseudoaneurysm formation in the vertebral body has not been presented in the literature. The etiology of hemorrhage has been discussed based on CT, MRI, and three-dimensional rotational angiography.

Background: Rupture of the lumbar catheter in lumboperitoneal (LP) shunts is rare and typically occurs due to long-term mechanical stress. The authors describe an unusual case of early postoperative lumbar catheter severing after a fall on the buttocks.
Observations: A 78-year-old woman underwent LP shunt placement for communicating hydrocephalus after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Lumbar epidural anesthesia is widely used for labor epidural analgesia (LEA), but it often results in insufficient analgesia in the sacral region. We report a case where we performed LEA using lumbar epidural anesthesia, and an asymptomatic sacral perineural cyst was considered the potential cause of inadequate analgesia in the sacral region. A 33-year-old primigravida was admitted with premature rupture of membranes.

Rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) due to an isolated type II endoleak (TIIEL) is rarely reported, accounting for less than 1% of all TIIELs; typically, rupture associated with TIIEL is accompanied by type I or type III endoleaks. We report a case of ruptured AAA secondary to TIIEL without any other types of endoleaks, occurring late after endovascular abdominal aortic repair (EVAR). A 77-year-old man with a history of EVAR 11 years earlier presented with abdominal pain.

Mycotic aneurysms are a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of infections, particularly those involving the spine. Spondylodiscitis, a bacterial or fungal infection of the intervertebral disc, is a known risk factor for the development of mycotic aneurysms. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are crucial for improving patient outcomes.
