title: [Arteriovenous fistulae of posttraumatic origin: apropos 7 cases].
abstract: We present our experience with arterio-venous traumatic fistulas. Seven cases, between 6 patients are reviewed. Respective etiologies were: 4 cases after an accidental traumatism, 2 cases produced by iatrogenicity and 1 case of idiopathic etiology. Respective localizations were: 6 cases at lower limbs (85.7%) and one case at cervical column (14.2%). All patients underwent surgical treatment. There was any case of mortality and treatment results were satisfactory in all cases. Patients were followed and, up to now, no recidives have been registered. follow-time ranged from 1.5 to more than 6 years.
