Capillary telangiectasia is a vascular abnormality primarily of the brainstem. The clinical relevance is unclear as is the association with clearly pathologic findings such as cavernous haemangioma. We report on four cases with capillary telangiectasia proven by follow-up and describe the imaging characteristics. T2 abnormality was only observed in half of the patients as was the presence of a discernable collecting vein. Whereas two cases were incidental findings in neurologically normal persons and one had symptoms clearly attributable to lacunar stroke, one patient may have had symptoms due to the vascular abnormality in the pons.
毛细血管扩张症是一种主要累及脑干的血管异常。其临床相关性尚不清楚，与诸如海绵状血管瘤等明确的病理表现之间的关联也不明确。我们报告了4例经随访证实的毛细血管扩张症病例，并描述了其影像学特征。仅半数患者观察到T2异常，可识别的引流静脉亦是如此。其中2例为神经功能正常者的偶然发现，1例有明确的腔隙性卒中所致症状，1例患者的症状可能归因于脑桥的血管异常。
