title: [Ilio-ureteral fistula: a life-threatening complication of an iliac Candida-infected pseudoaneurysm. A case report].
abstract: Arterio-ureteral fistula is a rare condition difficult to diagnose. The usual presentation associates acute paroxysmal hematuria with well-identified history and risk factors. We report the case of an 84-year-old man with a life-threatening complication of an ilio-ureteral fistula complicating an anastomotic iliac pseudoaneurysm after prothetic iliofemoral surgery, due to a fungic infection by Candida. After reporting the clinical case and the emergency surgical treatment, we present a review of the literature.
