Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia
A 45-year-old man with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) presented with numerous mucocutaneous telangiectases, recurrent nosebleeds, and several first degree relatives with similar symptoms. HHT has been linked to mutations in the genes endoglin and activin receptor-like kinase-1 (ALK-1), which are located on chromosome 9q33-34 and 12q13 ...

Imaging of Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia [PDF]
This pictorial review is based on our experience of the follow-up of 120 patients at our multidisciplinary center for hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). Rendu-Osler-Weber disease or HHT is a multiorgan autosomal dominant disorder with high penetrance, characterized by epistaxis, mucocutaneous telangiectasis, and visceral arteriovenous ...
