We present a case report of a patient with laparoscopic surgery of a deep infiltrating endometriosis with a complicative course. In addition to a postoperatively diagnosed ureteral fistula with local inflammation, acute perforation and ultimately lethal bleeding from the adjacent external iliac artery occurred more than 3 weeks after surgery. To the best of our knowledge, a case with the same constellation has not yet been published. A literature review on the rare and comparable complication of a ureteroarterial fistula is discussed in connection with the case.

Die zystische Degeneration der Adventitia (ZAD) in der A.iliaca externa ist mit zehn in der Literatur beschriebenen Fällen ein seltenes Phänomen. Eine rasch auftretende, einseitige Ischämiesymptomatik bei jungen Patienten sollte daran denken lassen und eine erweiterte präoperative Abklärung zur Folge haben. Die klassische Therapie mit Gefässresektion und Veneninterponat wird seit jeher kontrovers diskutiert. Wir berichten über einen Fall mit rezidivfreiem Verlauf über drei Jahre nach Exarterektomie.

AbstractTesticular artery usually arises from the antero-lateral part of the abdominal aorta below the origin of the renal arteries. Very rarely variations in the origin of the testicular arteries were observed. During routine dissection for undergraduate medical students, an abnormal origin and course of the left side testicular artery was detected in a 55-year-old male cadaver. On the left side, testicular artery arose from the external iliac artery half way before its entry into front of the thigh. Later it runs in the inguinal canal to reach the testis. In contrast, right side testicular artery has normal origin and course. Such variations in the origin and course of the testicular artery are important in surgical and diagnostic interventions to avoid diagnostic and surgical errors to prevent hazardous complications like testicular hypoperfusion and atrophy.
