  ABSTRACT: Iatrogenic vascular injury during posterior spinal surgery is a rare but potentially serious complication with treatment challenges. We report the case of threatened aortic injury by pedicle screw impingement during posterior fixation of thoracic spine T7 - T8 fracture dislocation. The removal of the conflicting screws was done posteriorly after a visual control of the absence of adventitious break-in by a thoracotomy.
