title: [A contribution to the etiology of objective tinnitus: the case of arteriovenous fistula between the superficial artery and external jugular vein].
abstract: The authors have presented a very rare case of vascular anomaly in 51-years old female with an arteriovenous fistula between the frontal branch and parietal branch of superficial temporal artery and external jugular vein with simultaneously haemangioma cavernosum of temporal region. The clinical manifestation and the diagnosis of this anomaly are discussed with particular stress laid on the role of carotid arteriography which demonstrated the presence of this abnormal arterio-venous communication. Surgical treatment and its results are discussed also. The results of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures were compared with cases described in the literature.
