The history is recorded of a seven‐year‐old boy who presented with a continuous murmur in the lower part of the chest on the right side. This proved to be due to a fistula from a systemic artery to a pulmonary vein. There was no associated broncho pulmonary or cardiac abnormality. The genesis of the condition is discussed, with a review of the relevant literature .
