title: [Splenic arteriovenous fistula (a clinical case)].
abstract: A splenic arteriovenous fistula is a situation often presenting with signs of portal hypertension and with a characteristic murmur. Though rare, the possibility of a splenic arteriovenous fistula must be borne in mind in differential diagnosis, since it can be corrected surgically by resolving the portal hypertension.
