[2 cases of solitary pulmonary arteriovenous fistula presenting in the neonatal period].

Two case reports of pulmonary arterio-venous fistulae presenting in the neonatal period are described. One child had severe respiratory distress with cardiac failure and the other presented with cyanosis and a continuous murmur. In both, chest X-ray demonstrated a localised lesion and the presence of an arteriovenous fistula was confirmed by pulmonary angiography. Lobectomy cured both children.
