Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Surgical Emergencies

Background:

  • Traumatic arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) in the head and neck present complex management challenges.
  • These injuries can lead to significant morbidity and mortality if not addressed promptly.

Observation:

  • A surgical case involving a traumatic arteriovenous fistula between the right subclavian artery and the internal jugular vein is presented.
  • The fistula was associated with the formation of a false aneurysm.

Findings:

  • Traumatic injury to the subclavian artery resulted in an arteriovenous fistula and a false aneurysm.
  • This specific injury constitutes a serious surgical emergency.

Implications:

  • Early recognition and prompt surgical intervention are crucial for managing traumatic AVFs.
