Delayed presentation of arteriovenous fistula 20 years after blunt renal trauma

Abstract: Delayed hematuria following blunt trauma is rare but can be significant. We describe an unusual delayed presentation of renal arteriovenous fistula following blunt trauma.A gentleman presented with hematuria and clot colic. Following initial investigations, renal arteriography showed an arteriovenous fistula in the mid-pole of the right kidney. The fistula was successfully occluded by super-selective coil embolization. Although this case is an unusual presentation, AV fistulae must be ruled out in management o… Show more

“…Pseudo‐aneurysms and arteriovenous fistulae are the commonest causes of secondary haemorrhage , and occur almost exclusively in injuries of grade ≥III . Patients usually present with haematuria , often within 2 weeks of the injury ; however, reports of detection up to 20 years after renal trauma suggests they can progress asymptomatically . Although commonly diagnosed on CT, Doppler US has successfully detected both .…”

“…Erosion of arterial wall into the adjacent vein leading to the fusion of the vessel walls is considered the underlying pathophysiological mechanism [13,14]. Acquired RAVF is the most common sub-type and is considered a sequel of iatrogenic, blunt or even penetrating renal trauma [15][16][17][18][19][20]. Less frequent pathologies causing RAVF development include malignancy with tumor neovascularity [14] and/or focal inflammation of the vessel wall [2].…”

“…Potential complications include hematuria, secondary hypertension, and high output heart failure. 56 Treatment is similar to other vascular abnormalities, where identification and embolization of the offending vessel are key.…”
