Abstract:
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by hemorrhage and arteriovenous malformations of the lungs, liver, and nervous system caused by telangiectasias. Here we report an elderly female patient with constipation, fatigue and anemia admitted to the characteristic medical center of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force. Imaging findings showed pulmonary vascular malformations, formation of multiple venous fistulas, liver arteriovenous malformations, splenic varicose veins, gastrointestinal telangiectasias, iron deficiency anemia, and multiple organ involvement, which were very rare in HHT patients.
