Pseudoaneurysm of the iatrogenic lumbar artery is a very rare complication of vertebral surgery. We report the case of a patient operated on for lumbar spine trauma who presented after 12 days of surgery a retro peritoneal hematoma. The lesion was diagnosed by vertebral angiography and was effectively treated by embolization.
