The most common cause of the arteriovenous junction between the carotid artery and the jugular vein is iatrogenic damage to the vessel walls during vein catheterization, however, this article describes a rare clinical case of traumatic carotid jugular junction of the neck. In addition to the well-known local symptoms of this pathology such as swelling, pulsation, redness of soft tissues, the formation of purulent crusts in the right eye was observed in the patient, which was not characteristic of arteriovenous anastomosis. The article presents the outcomes of multispiral computed tomography (MSCT) of the neck and brachiocephalic vessels with intravenous contrast enhancement confirming the diagnosis, as well as angiography of the common carotid artery basin. During the operation, the ligation of the vessels involved in arteriovenous discharge, the facial vein and artery, was performed. The results of surgical treatment are: reduction of swelling and redness of the soft tissues of the right buccal and suborbital areas, cessation of pulsation and formation of purulent crusts in the right eye after sleep. The article presents the main results of studying foreign literature on this topic: statistical data on the frequency and etiology of arteriovenous junction, characteristic clinical manifestations of this pathology and methods of differential diagnosis. Additionally, it lists treatment tactics used in world practice. Given the rarity of the pathology, the complexity of its diagnosis, and the lack of a standard surgical treatment technique, the presented clinical case is of the signficant practical interest.
