Abstract

Carotid artery-internal jugular vein arteriovenous fistula is very rare, but it should be suspected in case of vascular injury by neck trauma because the diagnosis may be missed due to anatomical complexity of neck. We report a 57-year old male who had the carotid artery-jugular vein arteriovenous fistula caused by gunshot injury in the neck 44 years ago.
