Abstract
- Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease characterized by telangiectasias of the skin, mucous membranes, and various organ system. HHT is not unusual in western countries but there were several reported cases of HHT in Korea. Recently we evaluated a 40-year-old postpartum female who had been suffering from recurrent epistaxis and peripartum dyspnea. The patient was diagnosed as a HHT complicated by high output heart failure caused by intrahepatic arteriovenous malformation. This case is reported with a review of relevant literature.
