Key Points

To emphasize the need for early screening for hypoxemia in newborns, particularly for hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT).
Case report of a newborn with hypoxemia onset due to HHT.
Discussion of screening strategies for potential causes of hypoxemia in infants.
Highlighted rare incidence of HHT contributing to hypoxemia in neonates.
Established importance of PAVMs as significant etiology for this condition.

Implication

Case report demonstrates comprehensive screening for hypoxemia causes in newborns, suggesting importance of HHT and PAVMs.

Abstract

This patient highlights the importance of conducting comprehensive early screening for potential causes of hypoxemia in newborns or infants. Although rare, HHT with PAVMs remain a significant etiology of hypoxemia.
