title: Arteriovenous fistula secondary to iliac mycotic aneurysm: helical CT findings.
abstract: We describe the case of a 59-year-old man who presented a mycotic aneurysm of the common right iliac artery due to Streptococcus agalactiae and developed an arteriovenous fistula within the inferior vena cava secondary to spontaneous rupture of the aneurysm. The clinical syndrome, helical computed tomographic, and angiographic findings are described and discussed.
