The authors describe a case of post-traumatic arterio-portal fistula (APF), discovered on the 12th day after coeliomesenteric arteriography performed because of a postoperative complication, and emphasize the rare nature of this lesion, as shown by a review of the published literature. They stress the value of coeliomesenteric arteriography after urgent laparatomy for hepatic trauma for investigation of any possible lesions.
