An 11 year old boy had a congenital pulmonary arteriovenous fistula, which was previously mistaken for a congenital cyanotic cardiopathy. After the diagnosis was established, the patient was successfully operated. Considering the high mortality of the untreated cases and the recent advances in pulmonary surgery techniques, the importance of a correct diagnosis and an early surgical treatment of these lesions, is reaffirmed.

Abstract
An 11 year old boy had a congenital pulmonary arteriovenous fistula, which was previously mistaken for a congenital cyanotic cardiopathy. After the diagnosis was established, the patient was successfully operated. Considering the high mortality of the untreated cases and the recent advances in pulmonary surgery techniques, the importance of a correct diagnosis and an early surgical treatment of these lesions, is reaffirmed.File allegati a questo prodotto
