Osler-Weber-Rendu, also known as Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia, is an autosomal dominant disease with phenotypic manifestations that include pulmonary, cerebrospinal, hepatic, and other visceral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Pulmonary AVMs can result in hypoxemia, hemoptysis, or stroke due to paradoxical embolism. The mainstay of treatment is transcatheter embolization. Central nervous system and abdominal visceral AVMs contribute to morbidity of the disease. Radiologists should be familiar with the imaging manifestations and treatment algorithm of AVMs in Osler-Weber-Rendu to effectively guide patient care.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011667 Pulmonary Veins The veins that return the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. Pulmonary Vein,Vein, Pulmonary,Veins, Pulmonary
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000072177 Radiologists Physicians specializing in the use of x-ray and other forms of radiant energy to diagnose and treat disease. Radiologist
D001164 Arteriovenous Fistula An abnormal direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through the CAPILLARIES. An A-V fistula usually leads to the formation of a dilated sac-like connection, arteriovenous aneurysm. The locations and size of the shunts determine the degree of effects on the cardiovascular functions such as BLOOD PRESSURE and HEART RATE. Aneurysm, Arteriovenous,Arteriovenous Aneurysm,Arteriovenous Fistulas,Fistula, Arteriovenous,Fistulas, Arteriovenous
D001165 Arteriovenous Malformations Abnormal formation of blood vessels that shunt arterial blood directly into veins without passing through the CAPILLARIES. They usually are crooked, dilated, and with thick vessel walls. A common type is the congenital arteriovenous fistula. The lack of blood flow and oxygen in the capillaries can lead to tissue damage in the affected areas. Arteriovenous Malformation,Malformation, Arteriovenous,Malformations, Arteriovenous
D013683 Telangiectasia, Hereditary Hemorrhagic An autosomal dominant vascular anomaly characterized by telangiectases of the skin and mucous membranes and by recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding. This disorder is caused by mutations of a gene (on chromosome 9q3) which encodes endoglin, a membrane glycoprotein that binds TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR BETA.
