| Abstract: | Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare vascular malformations of the lung. Although most patients are asymptomatic, AVMs can bleed and result in haemoptysis and haemothorax. We describes a case of pulmonary AVMs in a patient with Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome with 3-D contrast-enhanced MR angiography. Magnetic resonance angiography provided accurately and non-invasively the number and size of the feeding arteries and draining veins. |
