Iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula in an infant mimicking an arteriovenous malformation.

ABSTRACT

We report the case of a 12-month-old infant who presented with progressive lower limb enlargement associated with erythema mimicking an arteriovenous malformation. Computed tomography confirmed an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) between the deep femoral artery and the common femoral vein. This case describes the unique clinical and imaging findings of iatrogenic AVF and contrasts them with other congenital vascular entities.
