【 摘 要 】

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), or Rendu-Osler-Weber disease, is a dominant autosomal disease characterized by the presence of multiple telangiectasia in skin and mucus , associated with arteriovenous malformations (AVM) of various organs, including the lungs, gastrointestinal system and brain. HHT is presented most frequently as recurrent, spontaneous epistaxis . Patients may also present digestive, pulmonary and intracranial hemorrhage, as well as secondary anemia. This article reports the case of a female patient, 62 years old, with multiple episodes of epistaxis and vaginal bleeding , with diagnosis of complex HHT, which was managed with multiple embolizations , which improved symptoms and survival. In this kind of patient, it is possible, with timely diagnosis and treatment, to obtain a greater quality and expectation of life. Due to the fact that the severity and alterations in each patient are so variable, management should be individualized.
