SPONTANEOUS AORTOCAVAL FISTULA - CT FINDINGS WITH PATHOLOGICAL CORRELATION

We present a case of aortocaval fistula (ACF) secondary to spontaneous rupture of an atherosclerotic infrarenal aortic aneurysm into the inf erior vena cava that was initially diagnosed with computed tomography (CT). This is believed to be the first report of this condition with C T demonstration of the exact site of fistula and CT-pathologic correla tion. We retrospectively reviewed the CT findings of another two cases of ACF and the previous literature.
