[Uretero-arterial fistula. A rare cause of massive hematuria].
Ureteroarterial fistulae is a rare condition, with less than 25 reported cases. We describe such a fistula in a young female patient, after radiation therapy for cancer of the cervix and rectovaginal and vesicovaginal fistulae requiring sigmoidostomy and an ureteroureterostomy after long-lasting ureteral intubation. Angiography demonstrated the fistula and the reflux of contrast medium up to the pyelocalyceal cavities, and allowed establishing the origin of the massive hematuria, which caused the patient's death.
