Congenital paravertebral arteriovenous fistula: a case report.
Congenital paraspinal arteriovenous fistulae are rare and usually diagnosed after neurologic or cardiovascular manifestations. They may be discovered unexpectedly in children during clinical examination, which reveals the presence of a vascular murmur. The association with multicystic kidney is exceptional. We report 1 case with thoracic localization of a congenital paraspinal arteriovenous fistula associated with a multicystic kidney in a 3-year-old boy who was treated by endovascular embolization.
