A transrectal ultrasound-guided (TRUS) prostate biopsy is a common diagnostic procedure which carries an expected risk of iatrogenic infections. These range from simple urinary tract infections to rare but serious infections requiring an admission to hospital. Here we present a rare case of vertebral osteomyelitis following a TRUS biopsy, with normal initial MRI and bone scintigraphy scans and delayed radiological findings on repeat MRI of the spine.

Rectal bleeding seen after a transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy is often mild and self-limiting. We report a rare case of delayed massive rectal bleeding, post transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy, in a man in active surveillance for prostate carcinoma, without risk factors for bleeding. We managed this complication with a successfully angiographic embolization.We present this case in detail and we analyze the possible causes of this complication.
