A case is reported of bilateral arteriovenous aneurysm in the lungs of a young woman who had always been short of breath on moderate effort and who came to the hospital because of attacks of vertigo. Examination disclosed slight cyanosis, clubbing of the fingers and systolic bruits over the sites of the aneurysms which were demonstrated radiographically. Bilateral local excision of the aneurysms resulted in complete relief of symptoms.

The literature of the subject is reviewed, particularly in reference to symptoms and signs, and the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment are discussed.
