Abstract：
Arteriovenous fistulae of the upper limbs are rare in the pediatric population. They can be caused by trauma, needle puncture, or other iatrogenic injuries. A 5-year-old boy presented with progressive swelling of the right hand, which was initially misinterpreted as an arteriovenous malformation based on his noninvasive diagnostic work-up. He was ultimately diagnosed with right brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula by catheter angiography, and the fistula was then successfully treated with coil embolization. This article describes the relevant imaging findings and potential implications for treatment.
摘要：
上肢动静脉瘘在儿科人群中很少见。它们可能是由创伤引起的，针刺,或其他医源性伤害。一名5岁男孩右手进行性肿胀,根据他的无创诊断检查，最初被误解为动静脉畸形。他最终通过导管血管造影诊断为右头臂动静脉瘘，然后用弹簧圈栓塞成功治疗瘘管。本文介绍了相关的影像学发现和潜在的治疗意义。
