Pulmonary Arterio-Venous Malformation (PVAM) Presenting as Recurrent Hemoptysis
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
17 years old non-smoker male farmer presented with complaints of recurrent non massive hemoptysis for last 1year with past history revealing history of un-noticed blunt trauma to right lower chest two years back. Family evaluation was non-revealing and treatment history was intake of ATT (anti-tubercular treatment) with no response. Systemic examination revealed no significant abnormality. Investigations showed-normal renal profile, liver function, Coagulation profile, ANA and also bronchoscopy were non-revealing. Radiograph chest showed a radio-opaque shadow in right lower zone, which on CT(computerized tomography) pulmonary angiography revealed to a large PAVM(pulmonaryarterio-venous malformation) in Lower lobe right of lung. This case illustrates that how a common pulmonary symptom of hemoptysis can be presenting manifestation of a rare pulmonary condition known as PVAM and possibly blunt trauma to chest was the cause of this rare condition in our case.
