Abstract
Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by systemic arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) with multi-organ involvement, in which the most common manifestation is recurrent epistaxis.In more severe cases the prognosis is determined by organ dysfunction caused by AVMs, including hepatic involvement, which happens in 74-79% of cases, leading to poor outcomes.The treatment is mainly supportive care so early recognition of major organ involvement is fundamental to prevent severe complications.
