An unusual cause for recurrent transient ischaemic attacks.
A 37-year-old gentleman with a known diagnosis of hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia was referred to the Chest Clinic with recurrent shortness of breath and transient ischaemic attacks. Following extensive investigations, his CT pulmonary angiogram showed arteriovenous malformation, which led to definitive treatment and complete withdrawal of symptoms.
