    Author: Fernández Gómez JM, Regadera Sejas FJ, Scaf Barmadah S, San Martín Blanco A, Pérez García FJ.

    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To describe a patient with severe hematuria of late onset and pelvic arteriovenous fistula secondary to pelvic trauma. METHODS/RESULTS: A patient with multiple fracture of the pelvis and sacrum from a road traffic accident presented severe posttraumatic hematuria associated with pelvic arteriovenous fistula. The fistula was resolved by selective embolization and the hematuria immediately ceased. CONCLUSION: Patients with severe or long-lasting hematuria after pelvic trauma and no injuries to the urinary system, warrant arteriographic evaluation to discard vascular lesions. If present, these lesions are generally easily resolved by selective embolization.
