Newborn with congenital arteriovenous fistulas of the abdominal wall complicated by a ductus arteriosus aneurysm

Abstract: A case of congestive heart failure in a neonate resulting from a congenital abdominal arteriovenous fistula is described; an aneurysm of the ductus arteriosus was also found in the patient. Abdominal aortography was performed and demonstrated dilated feeding arteries, including the hypogastric arteries, which communicated with a dilated umbilical vein. Ligation of the feeding arteries and the umbilical vein led to resolution of the heart failure. Transient liver dysfunction occurred, however. Symptoms improved… Show more

“…Antenatal diagnosis of a hepatic AVM has already been reported [18]. Postnataly a hepatic AVM can present during neo-natal period [12,14,15,17,20,25,27,28] or during infancy [6,12,13,19]. It can also present during childhood [21] especially in the setting of hereditary hemorrhagic talengiectasia [29,30] or even during adult life [20,23,24,26].…”

“…Os ADAs são pouco freqüentes na prática médica, mas sua prevalência está certamente subestimada, pois a grande maioria dos pacientes não apresenta sintomas, sendo muitas vezes o diagnóstico feito como um achado ocasional de autópsia, não relacionado com a causa da morte1 . Mesmo assim, os pacientes podem manifestar importantes complicações, como ruptura ou erosão do aneurisma, tromboembolismo, obstrução brônquica ou da artéria pulmonar1,[5][6][7] , bem como, menos freqüentemente, associação com outras malformações cardíacas ou não8,9 .Dentro deste quadro, os ADAs são, na maioria das vezes, referidos na literatura como relatos de casos associados a complicações, resultados de manejos cirúrgicos ou simplesmente como achados ocasionais[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] . Em 1991, Lund e col 1 publicaram uma ampla revisão bibliográfica, analisando todos os relatos de ADA até então citados na literatura e estratificando, pela primeira vez, em que faixa etária eram mais freqüente, as taxas de complicações dentro desses grupos, os diagnósticos diferenciais e o manejo dessa situação.…”
