Brisk Hematuria

Ureteroarterial Fistula

Patients with ureteroarterial fistulas may present with a history of prior radiation, pelvic or ­vascular surgery, or long-standing indwelling stents. As these conditions are very uncommon, they are rarely considered in the differential diagnosis of hematuria. Often, there may be a history of mild hematuria ranging from 3 weeks to 3 months that precedes the onset of massive hematuria [49]. A high index of clinical suspicion combined with a history of predisposing factors should alert the physician of this potentially lethal condition.
