Introduction: Retropubic hematomas are a common development in cases of pelvic ring trauma and post- operative repair of fractures to the anterior column of the pelvis. Early detection and diagnosis of such events using computed tomography angiography (CTA) are critical for successful intervention and patient recovery, especially when bleeding is a result of injury to the corona mortis (CM). The CM is the communication between the obturator vessels and the external iliac vessels typically via an accessory obturator vessel.

Pelvic fractures, particularly acetabular fractures, pose major problems for individuals with advanced age due to comorbidities and poor bone quality. Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are a leading cause of high-energy injuries. This case report describes the treatment of an 80-year-old patient with hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis, and morbid obesity who suffered an acetabular fracture after an RTA.

The corona mortis is a variant vascular anastomosis that crosses behind the superior pubic ramus connecting the external and internal iliac vessels. Its location with respect to key landmarks in the retropubic space varies. This case demonstrates a life-threatening hemorrhage following an anterior vaginal wall suspension due to needle passer injury of the corona mortis successfully managed with endovascular embolization.

Corona mortis, an anatomical variant documented in the literature, presents a noteworthy concern due to its proximity to the superior pubic ramus. Consequently, it remains susceptible to injury, even in stable, benign fractures of the pelvis, typically addressed through conservative management. Stable pelvic fractures are infrequently associated with complications; therefore, diligent monitoring is often overlooked in clinical practice.
