Abstract

Pulmonary ateriovenous malformation is a rare condition in children in which there is direct abnormal connection between pulmonary arteries and veins, bypassing the normal pulmonary capillary bed, forming the right to left shunt. This is a rare cause of central   cyanosis   in   children, easy   to   omit   the diagnosis. The disorder usually appears in late childhood with dyspnea on exertion, cyanosis or clubbing. We present a case of pulmonary ateriovenous malformation in children discovered and treated successfully in Hue Cardiovascular Centre of Hue Central Hospital.
