%X A 12-year-old male child presented with a history of fall from three floors height with a stable pelvic fracture but destabilised haemodynamically soon after from pelvic arterial haemorrhage. Two attempts of selective embolisation controlled the haemorrhage transiently but recurrent pelvic arterial haemorrhage ensued jeopardising patient¡¯s haemodynamic status. Pelvic arterial haemorrhage was ultimately controlled by a unilateral non-selective embolisation of anterior and posterior divisions of internal iliac artery without any immediate or long-term ischaemic complications. Unilateral non-selective transcatheter arterial embolisation in paediatric pelvic arterial haemorrhage may be used as a viable management option with the potential of evading ischaemic complications and effective in selective embolisation failures
