先天性腎動静脈瘻の3例

Abstract

Renal arteriovenous fistula is a rare condition and may be congenital or acquired. Most of the previously reported patients with renal arteriovenous fistulae were treated by nephrectomy. But, several patients were treated by partial nephrectomy, ligation of the feeding vessels, fistulectomy and endofistulorrhaphy. We report herein three cases of congenital renal arteriovenous fistula. Two cases were successfully treated by partial nephrectomy and one case did not undergo any operations because of the poor renal function. From the review of literature, we could find and summarize 21 cases of congenital renal arteriovenous fistula which were treated by various renal preservative operations. A brief discussion was made on these 21 cases.
