title: Intraarterial embolization in combination with surgery in the management of congenital pelvic arteriovenous malformation.
abstract: A case of congenital arteriovenous fistula of the pelvis is described. Arteriovenous malformations of the pelvis are rare and can give rise to problems in diagnosis and treatment. A long history of vague complaints precedes determination of the correct diagnosis. Because recurrence is not uncommon after treatment, intraarterial embolization in combination with surgery is mandatory.
