Aortoenteric fistula is an uncommun life-threatening condition which remains associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It can be primary (aneurysm, neoplasms, radiation therapy, infection) or secondary to vascular prosthesis. Early diagnosis and aggressive surgical treatment are very important to achieve optimal outcomes in these patients. The aim of this article is to highlight the importance of early diagnosis and multidisciplinary approach of aortoenteric fistula through the presentation of a clinical case.
