Abstract
One of the causes of chronic hypoxemia is pulmonary arteriovenous malformations, the pathophysiological basis of which is the shunting of venous blood into the arterial blood flow without the stage of oxygen saturation. This pathology is rarely diagnosed in childhood due to the late onset of clinical symptoms, as well as the lack of alertness of pediatricians in the field of this rare pathology. This article presents a clinical case of a 16-year-old patient, confirming the importance of a thorough physical examination, the complexity of differential diagnosis of arteriovenous malformations with other diseases and the need for an interdisciplinary approach to the treatment of this group of patients.
