This article presents a young girl who came to the Department of Pediatrics, AIIMS, with cyanosis and was diagnosed to be having multiple pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae. The cardiovascular evaluation was normal and so was the respiratory evaluation. The desaturation did not improve with oxygen. The chest X-ray was also normal. The echocardiogram did not reveal any abnormality but agitated saline contrast echocardiography suggested an extracardiac right to left shunt which was confirmed on pulmonary angiography.
本文介绍了一名来到全印医学科学研究所儿科的年轻女孩，她患有发绀，被诊断为患有多发性肺动静脉瘘。心血管评估正常，呼吸评估也正常。吸氧后血氧饱和度未改善。胸部X光检查也正常。超声心动图未显示任何异常，但经食管超声心动图提示心外右向左分流，这在肺血管造影中得到证实。
