title: Aortic runoff as a sign of intracranial arteriovenous malformation: report of two cases.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Intracranial arteriovenous malformation rarely causes pulmonary hypertension and congestive heart failure in the newborn. Its diagnosis is challenging because cardiomegaly may suggest an intra-cardiac structural lesion.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present two newborns, one 2-day-old male and the other 11-day-old female, with intracranial arteriovenous malformation and misdiagnosis of congenital heart disease.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Precise echocardiography revealed the secondary signs of cranial arteriovenous malformation and had the major role in early diagnosis.
