title: [Congenital renal arteriovenous fistulas--report of two cases treated by embolisation and nephrectomy].
abstract: Congenital arteriovenous fistulas of the kidney are very rare. Options for therapy range from embolisation to nephrectomy. It depends on symptoms and extensiveness of the malformations. We report two cases of congenital arteriovenous malformations successfully managed in the first case by embolisation and in the second case by nephrectomy. Renal arteriovenous malformations remain an uncommon clinical problem which causes often diagnostic difficulties. The proper diagnosis can be made on the basis of standard diagnostic procedures such as physical examination, Doppler sonography and spiral computerized tomography.
