ABSTRACT
The case of a six-day-old neonate admitted in an emergency situation because of dyspnea and increasing cyanosis is reported. Despite abnormal opacification on the chest X-ray and left ventricular overload on the electrocardiogram and echocardiogram, features compatible with the disease, the diagnosis of massive pulmonary arteriovenous fistula affecting the whole left superior lobe, was made possible only after necroscopic examination
RESUMO
É relatado o caso de um neonato com seis dias de vida, encaminhado em caráter de urgência devido à cianose e dispnéia. Apesar da opacificação pulmonar na radiografia simples do tórax e da sobrecarga de câmaras esquerdas no eletrocardiograma e ecocardiograma, dados sugestivos da lesão, o diagnóstico de fístula arteriovenosa pulmonar maciça, envolvendo todo o lobo superior esquerdo, foi estabelecido, somente, através do estudo necroscópico
