Abstrakt:	Mycotic aneurysm in a visceral artery due to tuberculosis (TB) is a rare occurrence. Imaging plays a critical role in its diagnosis. Over the last few years, minimally invasive interventional radiological treatment has replaced more invasive surgical procedures. Here, we report a case presenting with abdominal pain, diagnosed with jejunal artery mycotic pseudoaneurysm (PSA) secondary to TB, managed by endovascular coiling. Coil embolisation of the superior mesenteric artery branch was done using three coils, closing both the front door, back door and sac of the mycotic aneurysm. Visceral PSA following TB infection is rare and can be fatal if left untreated. Coil embolisation is a minimally invasive procedure with a high success rate and comparatively fewer complications.
