Abstract Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding can be a common symptom in the pediatric population. Vascular malformations, which cause symptoms based on their location and effect on surrounding structures, are an uncommon cause of GI bleeding. We present the case of a 6‐year‐old male with a 1‐year history of hematochezia, constipation, and microcytic anemia.

Pulmonary vascular manifestations of hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia
Abstract Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant, multisystem disorder that manifests with a spectrum of disease including cardiopulmonary complications. HHT is characterised by aberrant signalling via the transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) pathway, with loss of vascular integrity, angiogenesis and vascular dysplasia. The
