  • Title: Severe persistent sciatic pain and weakness due to a gluteal artery pseudoaneurysm as a complication of bone marrow biopsy.
    Author: Lowenthal RM, Taylor BV, Jones R, Beasley A.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2006 Apr; 13(3):384-5. PubMed ID: 16497503.
    Abstract:
    Complications of bone marrow trephine are thought to be uncommon. Herein, we present a case of severe debilitating sciatic nerve palsy secondary to a gluteal artery pseudoaneurysm following bone marrow biopsy. The pseudoaneurysm was treated successfully by percutaneous embolization; however, the patient remains significantly impaired with persistent painless foot drop.
