- Abstract
The article reports the clinical case of a female patient who suffered a sudden speech difficulty, facial weakness, and dysphasia. Diagnostic tests including chest x-ray, pulmonary arteriogram and Transesophageal echocardiography revealed Arteriovenous (AV) Fistula which was surgically repaired. The diagnostic findings from the Magnetic Resonance Imaging suggest that pulmonary AV fistula in the patient occured due to earlier arterial embolism and multiple strokes.
