Abstract
A traumatic fistula between the upper abdominal aorta and thoracic duct was observed and documented by means of abdominal aortography and selective celiac arteriography. Repeat aortography performed three weeks after the first examination demonstrated spontaneous closure of the fistula, with no persisting abnormalities.
