Abstract
A diagnosis of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn should be reviewed if there is a failure to respond to appropriate treatment . We report a case in which both conventional therapy and inhaled nitr ic oxide failed to break the cycle of right-to-left shunting. Reassess ment revealed a massive pulmonary arteriovenous malformation for which surgery was successfully performed in the neonatal period.
