30-Year Follow-up and Surgical Correction

Harvey Lozman, MD; Moses Nussbaum, MD; Wen Yang, MD

Arch Surg. 1982;117(10):1343-1345.

Abstract
• A patient had a common carotid artery—jugular vein fistula created 30 years previously for the treatment of mental retardation. During the years following this procedure, massive facial venous engorgement developed, and she had a stroke. Operative closure of the fistula successfully alleviated the facial swelling and venous engorgement.
