[Congenital epigastric-umbilical arteriovenous fistula. Contribution on a rare clinical picture].
A congenital arteriovenous fistula involving the inferior epigastric arteries and the umbilical vein, simulating a congestive heart failure, occurred in a newborn infant. The embryology of this condition is explained. The involved vessels were ligated and excised. The diagnostic and surgical problems of this rare type of fistula are discussed.
