Abstract
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, also known as Osler- Weber-Rendu disease, is a hereditary syndrome characterized by the presence of vascular abnormalities throughout the body. It is important to keep in mind that patients with this rare disease will have life-threatening pathologic findings beyond those in the head and neck. The disease is recognized most commonly by the presence of telangiectases on the skin and mucous membranes of the body, particularly inside the nose. The classic patient has a history of a recurrent epistaxis and a familial pattern of telangiectases.
