Intercostal artery aneurysms are extremely rare, and could be associated with aortic coarctation, systemic diseases like neurofibromatosis, or more rarely Marfan syndrome. They could be life-threatening when ruptured, leading to hemothorax or mediastinal hematoma. Endovascular management before or after rupture of intercostal aneurysms, should be considered. Radiculomedullary branch, especially Adamkiewicz one, emanating from intercostal artery needs special focus during endovascular management, to avoid spinal cord ischemia. We present herein the first case of a ruptured intercostal artery aneurysm with a downstream Adamkiewicz artery in a suspected Marfan patient. Aneurysmal exclusion using stent graft was the unique therapeutic option.
