[Posttraumatic AV fistula in the upper arm region following a foreign body injury. Sonographic diagnosis - a case report].
This paper reports on the sonographic localisation of a metallic foreign body in the upper arm region and its topographic anatomic position as well as the sonographic diagnosis of an AV fistula due to a lesion of the brachial blood vessels. Ultrasonography is the method of choice for the evaluation and diagnosis of foreign body injuries and possible subsequent complications.
