    Abstract:
    The aortoduodeonal fistula is a rare condition and has high mortality. We report five retrospective cases of digestive hemorrhage due to an aortoduodenal fistula (4 secondary and 1 primary) between 1986 and 1990. Three of them died. Attention is called to the importance of clinical suspicion and the main diagnostic methods in early diagnosis such as oral endoscopy. We also enhance the importance of emergency surgery for survival.
