title: [Arterio-portal fistula. Report of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: Mesenteric arteriovenous fistulas or arterioportal fistulas (APF) are rare and mostly secondary to penetrating abdominal wounds. A rare case of APF presenting 2 years later a blunt abdominal trauma has been reported. On the basis of a review of the literature (65 cases) the etiology, clinical findings, diagnostical aspects and the results of conservative and surgical treatment have been analyzed.
