Abstract

Renal artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare but potentially life-threatening vascular condition, particularly when it occurs during pregnancy. Delayed recognition may lead to catastrophic haemorrhage with significant maternal and foetal morbidity. We present a case of a pregnant woman diagnosed with a renal artery pseudoaneurysm during the antenatal period who was successfully managed with endovascular embolisation. Prompt imaging, coordinated multidisciplinary care, and minimally invasive intervention enabled stabilisation of the condition and continuation of pregnancy, resulting in favourable maternal and neonatal outcomes. This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and highlights endovascular therapy as a safe and effective treatment option during pregnancy.
