| Abstract: | The diagnosis of low grade prosthetic graft infection or aorto-enteric fistula is difficult using conventional radiographic imaging modalities. We report a case of aorto-enteric fistula to the sigmoid colon diagnosed by the new technique of 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. |
