title: [Arteriovenous fistula of the superficial temporal artery].
abstract: A case of an post-traumatic arteriovenous fistula of the right temporal superficial artery in a diabetic child is reported. In absent of a cranial fracture, the lesion was notorious for the first time, ten months after a simple head injury. The progressive increase in size and the beginning of a frequent parietal right headache were the initial symptoms and important signs. The malformation was clipped on both sides and removed completely. The diagnosis and treatment are discussed as well as the theory on the pathogenesis of the lesion.
