Abstract
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are rare abnormalities observed mainly in children with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). A majority of patients are asymptomatic at the time of detection. However, complications such as hypoxemia, stroke, cerebral abscess and massive hemoptysis can arise if larger PAVMs remain untreated. Larger PAVMs are usually managed successfully with embolization, although reperfusion of PAVMs have been reported post procedure. Early screening for PAVMs is recommended in asymptomatic children with HHT or those at risk for HHT. Longer term surveillance is also essential, to enable timely identification and management of PAVMs.
期刊介绍：
Pediatric Pulmonology (PPUL) is the foremost global journal studying the respiratory system in disease and in health as it develops from intrauterine life though adolescence to adulthood. Combining explicit and informative analysis of clinical as well as basic scientific research, PPUL provides a look at the many facets of respiratory system disorders in infants and children, ranging from pathological anatomy, developmental issues, and pathophysiology to infectious disease, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and airborne toxins. Focused attention is given to the reporting of diagnostic and therapeutic methods for neonates, preschool children, and adolescents, the enduring effects of childhood respiratory diseases, and newly described infectious diseases.
PPUL concentrates on subject matters of crucial interest to specialists preparing for the Pediatric Subspecialty Examinations in the United States and other countries. With its attentive coverage and extensive clinical data, this journal is a principle source for pediatricians in practice and in training and a must have for all pediatric pulmonologists.
