Renal Arteriovenous Fistula; Possibility of Misdiagnosis and Successful Management: A Case Report

Abstract

Introduction: Renal arteriovenous fistula is a rare clinical entity which may have a serious effect on the hemodynamics. Case Presentation: We report a case of renal arteriovenous fistula with undetermined diagnosis at her first presentation. Finally after 9 years her problem was diagnosed and managed successfully with coil embolization. Conclusions: We should consider renal arteriovenous fistula as a differential diagnosis for hematuria. The gold standard modality for evaluation is DSA. Endovascular management is the best treatment.
