We reported a neonatal case of giant multi-hole PAVFs presented with heart failure and local brain atrophy. The challenges associated with the complexity, outcome and therapeutic options of neonatal PAVFs was discussed. In addition, a review of the published literature on cases of PAVFs diagnosed at neonatal age, over the last two decades, was performed. Comprehensive prognostic evaluation and an optimal treatment strategy offered by a multidisciplinary team at specialized centers should be assured for each case affected.}, number={4}, publisher={MediHealth Academy Yayıncılık}
