Abstract
A case of congenital arteriovenous fistula diagnosed by measuring the O2 saturation difference of renal veins at the time of selective renal angiographic examination and a review of 38 Japanese cases were reported. English as well as Japanese literature was reviewed. Treatment consisted of partial nephrectomy, ligation of the branch artery supplying the fistula and intentional embolization of the arterial branches, feeding the shunt by catheter.
