Abstract:
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations(PAVM) are uncommon diseases. Brain abscesses could be a rare and devastating complication of PAVM. Central nervous complaints may be the first manifestations of PAVM. We report a case of PAVM presented by brain abscess, which was treated by craniotomy.
