Abstract

Congenital arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a rare vascular disease, which may occur anywhere in the body. The forearm is a very rare location. Clinical manifestations are not very specific and can vary from an asymptomatic fistula to a life-threatening congestive heart failure. Although embolization can be an alternative treatment for AVF of the forearm, surgery is still considered as the standard treatment. Herein, we report the case of a 7-year-old boy with a congenital AVF between the radial artery and the superficial cephalic vein in the forearm without any dysmorphic features treated surgically.
