Brain abscess in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (rendu-osler-weber disease)‎ : a case report

Abstract EN

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (or Rendu-Osler- Weber disease) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease of the fibrovascular tissue.

More than 90% of patients have recurrent epistaxis.

Those with pulmonary arteriovenous malformation are predisposed to cerebral abscesses.

We report a 35-year-old male patient with brain abscess in Rendu- Osler-Weber disease.

This paper provides a review of the literature of the disease, its diagnosis, manifestations, and therapy.
