Abstract
A 63-year-old man with no relevant medical history presented with acute non-traumatic back pain and was found to have a T8 intercostal artery pseudoaneurysm associated with haemomediastinum on CT of the chest. He was taken to angiography with interventional radiology and the aneurysm was coiled without complication.
