title: [Hematuria after ureteral-iliac aneurysm rupture].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Ureteral-iliac artery fistula is a rare condition. We perform a bibliographic review and report a case of ureter-iliac artery fistula reviewing its major differential diagnosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  This case-study describes a patient with massive hematuria that presented a ureter-iliac artery fistula secondary to spontaneous rupture of an internal iliac artery aneurysm.
  
  
  RESULTS
  86 -year-old male patient with history of previous surgery for aneurysm and ureteral catheterization.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This difficult diagnosis should be thought of in a patient with massive macroscopic hematuria and previous vascular surgery. The treatment is always surgery.
