Abstract:
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) is a rare vascular anomaly. The vascular anomaly usually occurs congenitally, and enlarges progressively with aging. Although PAVM has many pulmonary manifestations, its most common symptom is known to be dyspnea on exertion. Non pulmonary complications, such as ischemic stroke, have rarely been reported. In this paper, we report a case of a patient with both cerebellar infarction and an isolated PAVM. The PAVM was diagnosed with transesophageal echocardiography, transcranial Doppler and pulmonary angiography, and treated with embolization.
