title: A new strategy for treatment of a congenital arteriovenous fistula of the neck. Case report.
abstract: Congenital arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) without associated vascular malformations are uncommon. Only a very few cases of AVF have been reported in the neck. We describe our findings in a patient with AVF treated by a combined vascular and endovascular approach.
