Abstract

COMERIO, C  and  INNOCENTI, C. Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia: Clinical case report and literature update. Rev. argent. dermatol. [online]. 2009, vol.90, n.3, pp.166-174. ISSN 1851-300X.

The purpose of this article is to describe a female patient with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. The diagnosis was based on Curaçao criteria. This illness is an autosomal dominant and age-dependent vascular disorder, caracterized by epistaxis, telangiectasias located in specific sites on the skin, and visceral involvement, including arteriovenous malformations in lung, brain and liver or telangiectasias in the gastrointestinal tract. We also present a review of the literature, including etiopathogenia and treatment aspects.

Keywords : Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia; Epistaxis; Skin.
