AbstractAbstract
[en] We present the case of a rare entity which is a complication of a disease process that had almost disappeared from the Western World. With the recent resurgence in reported cases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) in Western communities, it is important to recognize complications and sequelae.

We outline this rare case and the embolization technique and review previously documented reports
