Abstract
We report the case of a 64-year-old patient who presented with a pseudoaneurysm of the inferior polar artery of the left kidney complicated by an arteriovenous fistula secondary to percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). The treatment by embolization of the damaged vascular branches had been carried out successfully. Through this observation, we will insist on the precise knowledge of the caliceal and vascular anatomy which is essential for the proper performance of PCNL.
