摘要
Right pulmonary artery to left atrial fistula is a rare congenital vascular anomaly which usually presents with cyanosis, clubbing, dyspnea, and signs and symptoms of a right to left shunt. Paradoxical embolism to the brain resulting in cerebral abscess formation and death is a rare and ominous complication that has been described. We describe an unusual presentation with abdominal pain resulting from splenic infarction.
