Abstract
We report here a case of aorto-cava fistula complicating the rupture of a sub-renal aortic aneurysm into the inferior vena cava, which is a rare complication of aortic abdominal aneurysms with often-fatal outcome. Abdominal computed tomography with multi-planar reconstructions remains the firstline-imaging tool allowing positive diagnosis and preoperative planning. Treatment may be surgical or endovascular.
