    Abstract:
    A 5-year-old girl with multiple pulmonary arterio-venous fistulae was reported. Both her mother and grandmother have been diagnosed as the same disease previously. Her grandmother was treated with resection of the right basal segment for arterio-venous fistulae. Her mother is well with fistulae for more than 20 years. The patient was operated upon to enucleate two larger fistulae in segments 3 and 6 of right lung. Her postoperative course was uneventful. She was discharged from the hospital on the 22nd postoperative day. Pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae are thought to be a part of the hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasis. Enucleation of the larger fistulae of the lung are preferable even for multiple lesions.
