Traumatic Arteriovenous Fistula

Traumatic arteriovenous fistula is relatively uncommon. The proper designation for what is called a false aneurysm is pulsating hematoma, which occurs when there is a small laceration of the wall of a large artery will continuing leakage of blood from the artery into surrounding tissues. The extent of growth of the pulsating hematoma depends on the strength of the surrounding fascial tissues. We experienced one case of arteriovenous fistula with hematoma, due to operative injuries, and operated successfully, and report the case.
