[Therapeutic embolization of a congenital vertebral arteriovenous fistula].
An arterio-venous fistula in the neck arising from the right vertebral artery is described. Selective angiography showed a single communication. A Fogarty catheter, introduced by the occipital artery and left in situ was used as a means of embolisation. This procedure was simple and effective.
