title: Congenital paravertebral arteriovenous fistula: a case report.
abstract: 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.
