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 ...

The Brain in Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia [PDF]
While neurological symptoms are often mentioned in reports of families with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) and are frequently assumed to be due to vascular anomalies of the central nervous system, documentation of such anomalies is surprisingly rare.
