Abstract

Acquired arteriovenous fistula is an unusual complication of lumbar disc surgery. Diagnosis is often late because of the lack of awareness of this complication and also because it may simulate other vascular diseases. A case diagnosed initially as deep vein thrombosis of the leg is described.
