Spontaneous rupture of an aneurysmal intrarenal arteriovenous fistula.
We present a 65-year-old woman who was found to have a spontaneous rupture of an aneurysmal intrarenal arteriovenous fistula. To our knowledge, the present case is only the 3rd reported in the literature. The preferred method of treatment of ruptures of arteriovenous fistulae is embolization. However, the process of choosing among embolization, surgery, or a combination of both procedures must be individualized for each patient based on vital signs and symptoms.
