متن کاملNeonatal pulmonary arteriovenous malformation in hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia.
A 3 week old infant presented with persistent hypoxaemia and was diagnosed with pulmonary arteriovenous malformations. Her family history was positive for hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia.

متن کاملHereditary telangiectasia and multiple pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas. Clinical deterioration during pregnancy.
We describe the effect of pregnancy on a woman with multiple pulmonary arteriovenous fistula. Pregnancy was terminated at 35 weeks' gestation because of severe hypoxemia. During the early postpartum period, the intrapulmonary shunt fraction enlarged, and hypoxemia worsened, necessitating emergency resection of the A-V fistula. Pregnancy may increase the intrapulmonary shunt fraction in patients...
