Contact endoscopic findings in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.
BACKGROUND Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia is characterized by angiodysplastic lesions. So far, knowledge is limited on the vascular architecture and rate of occult manifestation of telangiectases. Contact endoscopy has not been used for this task before. METHODS Eleven patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia were examined with contact endoscopy to identify occult telangiect...
متن کاملImpact of Hereditary Hemorrhagic Teleangiectasia on Quality of Life
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominantly inherited disorder of the fibrovascular tissue. The most common symptoms are recurrent nose bleeds and multiple mucocutaneous telangiectases. Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are less obvious. Because there is no permanent cure available, patients often suffer from mental stress. Several studies have been performed to asse...

Hereditary benign telangiectasia is an uncommon idiopathic skin disorder characterized by generalized telangiectases and angiomatous lesions of the skin. The diagnosis should be suspected in patients with such cutaneous lesions, positive family history, no associated bleeding problems, and no mucosal involvement. We present six cases of hereditary benign telangiectasia in three generations of o...
