Blunt trauma to the abdomen resulting in celiac axis injury is uncommon, and we present the case of a 28-year-old male pedestrian hit by a car. Whole body multi detector computed tomography revealed a non-bleeding celiac axis pseudoaneurysm. The subsequent successful endovascular management is described.
