SUMMARY A case is reported of a post‐nephrectomy arteriovenous fistula. Emphasis is laid on a thorough clinical examination. Possible methods of formation of the arteriovenous fistula are discussed. The quicker the surgical treatment carried out after detection the better, though the blood‐pressure may not return to normal levels.
