Abstract
Multiple cerebral arteriovenous fistulas with malformations in the fetus or neonate are rare. Here we describe a patient who had these lesions with pu lmonary stenosis, resulting in severe brain atrophy in utero and intractabl e heart failure after birth. The pathophysiology of this patient is discuss ed in hemodynamic terms. (C) 2001 by Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reser ved.
