Abstract

The classic triad of dyspnoea on exertion, cyanosis and clubbing should alert the clinician to the possibility of pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM). Despite it being a rare condition, it is associated with significant clinical complications. A common feature is paradoxical emboli, with consequent complications such as brain abscess and stroke.
