Two different types of these disorders are pulmonary and brain malformations, which are seen sporadically or in combination with other syndromes. Symptoms of these diseases appear at different ages and present differently in patients, but in general, the combination of these two disorders is rarely seen. There are several treatments based on the type of lesion and symptoms and other accompanying conditions, one of which is interventional procedure.

In this article, a rare case of pulmonary and brain malformation has been reported, which has progressed even after treatment and has been closed interventionally.
