Abstract:
We describe a case of intrapleural rupture of pulmonary arteriovenous fistula A 37-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a sudden onset of right chest pain. A computed tomography scan showed massive pleural effusion and tension hemothorax. Subsequently the patient went into shock. Partial resection of the lung was performed emergently. Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is often associated with Rendu-Osler-Weber disease (ROW). Because of her brain arteriovenous malformation and family history, we could not exclude the possibility of ROW.

Pneumothorax can be even further classified as spontaneous, traumatic, and tension pneumothorax.
Pneumothorax II: Pathophysiology
Portal Hypertension
Fetal Circulation
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
