We report a case of 8-year-old boy with unexplained desaturation and clubbing. Echocardiography showed anomalous drainage of right superior vena cava into left atrium. He did not have any neurological symptoms preoperatively. Some perioperative observations and subtle postoperative behavioral changes prompted us to investigate him further. He was found to have extensive cerebral arteriovenous malformations and hemiatrophy of brain.
