Abstract

Internal iliac aneurysms are usually silent and are identified as an incidental finding on a radiological investigation for an unrelated condition, unless catastrophic bleeding occurs. We present the first case of a middle-aged man with a large internal iliac aneurysm presenting with a foot drop and sciatic nerve pain. The endovascular management is discussed.
