Cerebral ischemic stroke is attributed to paradoxical cerebral embolism. Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) is a rare potential cause of cerebral ischemic stroke, and cerebral ischemic stroke induced by PAVF in children is rare.
We report a case of right PAVF that presented as a transient ischemic attack (TIA) in a 13-year-old boy. The patient underwent embolization therapy and remained clinically stable for 2 years after treatment.
TIA induced by PAVF in children is rare, lacks typical clinical manifestations, and should not be ignored.
脑缺血性卒中归因于反常脑栓塞。肺动静脉瘘(PAVF)是脑缺血性卒中一种罕见的潜在病因,而儿童PAVF所致的脑缺血性卒中少见。
我们报告1例13岁男孩,以短暂性脑缺血发作(TIA)为表现的右侧PAVF病例。该患者接受了栓塞治疗,治疗后临床稳定2年。
儿童PAVF所致TIA少见,缺乏典型临床表现,不应被忽视。
