An arteriovenous fistula between the superior thyroid artery and internal jugular vein is described, diagnosed 20 years after thyroidectomy. This unusual fistula produced only local symptoms, but the bruit was initially attributed to atherosclerotic obstruction of the carotid artery. Although a systolic/diastolic bruit may be generated by a tight carotid obstruction, the presence of a continuous cervical bruit should suggest an arteriovenous fistula.
本文描述了一例甲状腺上动脉与颈内静脉之间的动静脉瘘，该病例在甲状腺切除术后20年才得以诊断。这种罕见的瘘仅产生局部症状，但其血管杂音最初被归因于颈动脉的动脉粥样硬化性阻塞。虽然颈动脉严重阻塞可能会产生收缩期/舒张期血管杂音，但持续性颈部血管杂音应提示存在动静脉瘘。
