Özet

Background: Niemann-Pick disease (NPD) is caused by abnormal storage of sphingomyelin. NPD may affect the pulmonary system and cause hypoxia. In the present case, both hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) and pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas (PAVFs) developed in a child with NPD and were successfully treated with repeated embolization.
