title: [Congenital carotid to jugular aneurysm].
abstract: A congenital carotid--jugular aneurysm was responsible for severe heart failure in a two day old baby. The child recovered after surgery. The signs suggesting an arteriovenous fistula (a continuous murmur and thrill, hyperdynamic circulation) may be absent, as in this case, when the child is in severe cardiac failure. The signs should be sought when the circulation improves.
