Abstract
Report of a pediatric case with pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVF) in hereditary hemorrhagic teleangiectasia (HHT), primary suspected by ultrasound. There is a characteristic sonographic feature of the complex type of PAVF revealing septations in contrast of the simple type. The diagnosis was established by angiography.
