Abstract

Carotid artery-internal jugular vein arteriovenous fistula is very rare, but it should be suspected in case of vascular injury by neck trauma because the diagnosis may be missed due to anatomical complexity of neck, We report a 57-year old male who had the carotid artery-jugular vein arteriovenous fistula caused by gunshot injury in the neck 44 years ago.

경동맥과 경정맥 사이의 외상성 동정맥루는 매우 드문 질환이고 경부의 해부학적 복잡성으로 인해 외상 후 진단을 놓치는 경우가 있으므로 혈관 손상이 있는 경우에는 동정맥루의 발견을 위해 적극적인 검사가 필요하다. 44년 전에 경부에 총상을 입은 57세 남자에서 늦게 발견된 경동맥-경정맥간의 동정맥루를 치험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
