Introduction: The platypnea orthodeoxia syndrome is a rare clinical entity combining positional dyspnea and arterial oxygen desaturation during the transition to orthostatism, reversible on return to decubitus. The most frequent etiology of this syndrome is the presence of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) responsible for a right-to-left intracardiac shunt, the severity of which results in significant functional disability and a risk of death from hypoxia.
Case Report: We report the case of a 93-year old patient on long-term oxygen, initially hospitalized for acute heart failure following a community-acquired urinary tract infection.
