Abstract
Background: Intracranial arteriovenous malformation rarely causes pulmonary hypertension and congestive
heart failure in the newborn. Its diagnosis is challenging because cardiomegaly may suggest an intra-cardiac
structural lesion.
Case Presentation: We present two newborns, one 2-day-old male and the other 11-day-old female, with
intracranial arteriovenous malformation and misdiagnosis of congenital heart disease.
Conclusion: Precise echocardiography revealed the secondary signs of cranial arteriovenous malformation
and had the major role in early diagnosis.
Keywords
