Abstract:
There are many reports on lumbar artery injuries. However, there are only a few case reports of a lumbar artery injury presenting with hypovolemic shock from either a blunt or penetrating trauma. We described a 47-year-old man with a retroperitoneal hemorrhage secondary to a lumbar artery injury presenting as hypovolemic shock after a 3 m fall.
