摘要
Acupuncture is a major treatment modality used in Oriental medicine to control chronic pain. However, several complications have been reported, including spinal cord injury, pneumothorax, and subcutaneous pseudoaneurysm, according to the puncture sites. We report the case of a pseudoaneurysm of the abdominal aorta caused by acupuncture.
