| Abstract: | Three cases of congestive heart failure are presented caused by a cerebral arteriovenous aneurysm, a pulmonary arteriovenous aneurysm and a placental angioma respectively. Such conditions should be borne in mind in otherwise unexplained heart failure in the neonatal period and in infants. The haemodynamic influence of the malformation depends on its anatomy, giving rise to various clinical pictures. |
