Vascular anomalies and interventions

Congenital arteriovenous communications involving the external carotid artery and the jugular vein(s) are exceptionally rare. We report two cases of congenital external carotid-jugular fistulae with clinical, radiological, and surgical features and a review of the literature. The prospects of endovascular treatment and the limits of surgery are discussed.
