Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula in the newborn: A case report of Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome and a review of the literature

Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula in the newborn: A case report of Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome and a review of the literature

In most instances, congenital arteriovenous fistula is only one manifestation of a more widespread abnormality; 60% of patients also have hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasis (Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome). Among those with congenital pulmonary arteriovenous fistula, the diagnosis is made during infancy in only 15% of patients. We present a case of pulmonary arteriovenous fistula in a newborn and review the literature. This rare condition of newborns can be treated with different surgical procedures. Only 17 cases of newborn pulmonary arteriovenous fistula/have been reported, and only two of those had associated Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome. The results of surgical procedures were good in most of these cases. We treated our case with lobectomy successfully.
