    This case report details a pulmonary arteriovenous microfistula in a teenage male presenting with hypoxemia. Advanced imaging and biopsy confirmed the rare intrapulmonary shunt, aiding diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pulmonology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Pulmonary arteriovenous microfistulas are rare vascular anomalies causing intrapulmonary shunting.
    • Diagnosis can be challenging due to non-specific symptoms and normal initial investigations.

    Observation:

    • A 15-year-old male presented with progressive dyspnea and cyanosis.
    • Initial examinations including chest X-ray and EKG were unremarkable.
    • Pulmonary function tests revealed hypoxemia secondary to an increased veno-arterial shunt (Qs/Qt).

    Findings:

    • Standard diagnostic studies like echocardiogram and pulmonary angiography failed to localize the shunt.
    • Contrast echocardiography and selective pulmonary artery occlusion suggested an intrapulmonary source.
    • A lung biopsy definitively confirmed the presence of pulmonary arteriovenous microfistula.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the utility of advanced diagnostic techniques for rare vascular conditions.
    • Emphasizes the importance of considering intrapulmonary shunts in unexplained hypoxemia.
    • Contributes to the understanding and diagnosis of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations.
