Abstract:
Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is an uncommon capillary abnormality. It may be accompanied by neurological complications such as cerebral abscess and be associated with or without hemorrhagic telangiectasia. We recently experienced a case of cerebral abscess with pulmonary arteriovenous fistula(PAVF), which was not associated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. We report this case with review of the related literature.
