Summary:

       Acute spontaneous arterio-venous fistula complicating atherosclerotic abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is rare. This life-threatening setting is observed in 1–2% of all AAAs and 2–4% of ruptured of AAAs. The triad of abdominal or lower back pain, pulsatile abdominal mass, and continual abdominal machinery-like bruit is seen only in half of cases. Currently, CT angiography is a noninvasive technique which enables a rapid and exact preoperative diagnosis. The authors describe three cases of aortoiliac aneurysm complicated by an acute arteriovenous fistula which were diagnosed using spiral CT.

        Key words: abdominal aortic aneurysm – arterio-venous fistula – aorto-caval fistula – spiral CT
