[Digital subtraction angiography in traumatology--visualization of an arteriovenous fistula in the neck].

By means of an intraarterial digital subtraction angiography a fistula due to a trauma could be visualised between the right vertebral artery and the jugular vein. The investigation was performed one year after the car accident. Visualisation with exact localisation of the beginning of the fistula at the arterial site should make it possible to perform an embolisation without affecting the vertebral artery. The clinical condition will be decisive.
