Abstract
This is a story about a 63-year-old female patient, a mother, and a 41-year-old male patient, a son, who were both previously operated because of pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas (PAVFs): mother in 1996 and a son in 1995. In 2013, they were both admitted to our emergency hospital department (EHD) due to neurological symptoms.
