Abstract
- Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are induced right to left shunt and if untreated properly, those may cause severe neurological problems. A 35-year-old man who had a headache checked into an emergency room to define a brain abscess in his brain with CAT scan as well as to examine suspicious two PAVMs in his chest X-ray. Not long after the surgical management of the brain abscess, he suffered recurrent convulsive movements. We would proceed to operate his PAVMs to prevent recurrent critical neurologic complications such as brain abscess or meningitis.
