[Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula].
A case of pulmonary arteriovenous fistula in a 6 1/2 year-old girl is reported. The fistula which was first seen on X-ray films resulted in low arterial oxygen saturation, asthenia and dyspnea during exercise. It was confirmed by right catheterism and angiography. The child was cured after left inferior lobectomy. No other vascular malformations could be demonstrated in the child or in her family. Literature data are reviewed.
