Post traumatic internal iliac arteriovenous fistula presenting with persistent gross hematuria

Abstract

Traumatic pelvic arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are exceedingly rare and can lead to significant morbidity. Herein, we describe the case of a 31 year-old male who presented with two months of recurrent gross hematuria following a gluteal gun-shot wound and was found to have a right internal iliac AVF. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a post traumatic pelvic AVF presenting with gross hematuria.
