    Abstract:
    We describe a case of intrapleural rupture of pulmonary arteriovenous fistula A 37-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a sudden onset of right chest pain. A computed tomography scan showed massive pleural effusion and tension hemothorax. Subsequently the patient went into shock. Partial resection of the lung was performed emergently. Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is often associated with Rendu-Osler-Weber disease (ROW). Because of her brain arteriovenous malformation and family history, we could not exclude the possibility of ROW.
