We describe a ruptured internal iliac artery aneurysm associated with sigmoid colon infarction. The patient was referred to our hospital complaining of lower abdominal pain. Computed tomography scan demonstrated a massive hematoma with a ruptured left internal iliac artery aneurysm. Hypovolemic shock prompted immediate laparotomy, endoaneurysmorrhaphy of the ruptured aneurysm, and resection of the recto-sigmoidal colon. During treatment for ruptured internal iliac aneurysm, we should consider potential colon infarction.
