Diagnosis With Brief Discussion

Diagnosis
Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (Osler-Rendu-Weber syndrome)
Radiologic Findings
Fig 1. Chest PA shows ill-defined peripheral opacities in both lower lung zones. Coil embolization is suspected in right lower lung zone.
Fig 2-4. CT scans reveals avidly enhancing nodular lesions which are connected with pulmonary artery
and vein.
Fig 5. Left lung pulmonary angiogram shows multiple pulmonary AVMs with feeding artery, aneurysmal sac, and draining vein.
Brief Review
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are characterized by abnormal connections between the pulmonary arteries and veins. The early and accurate recognition of PAVMs is important not only because of the potential for paradoxical embolization to the brain, but also because treatment with percutaneous endovascular embolization is potentially curative. The overwhelming majority of patients with PAVMs have (autosomal dominant) hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT; known also by the eponymous label, Osler-Rendu-Weber syndrome), which is also associated with the presence of mucocutaneous lesions.
On HRCT, PAVMs are diagnosed by identifying at least one feeding artery connected directly to a draining vein. Some lesions may be more complex characterized by a leash of feeding vessels. Patients with feeding arteries exceeding 3 mm in diameter have traditionally been regarded as candidates for endovascular embolization, although this cutoff is somewhat arbitrary and paradoxical emboli may still occur in the context of smaller PAVMs.
