Cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are associated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). I report a case of a patient with HHT with four cerebral AVMs in whom one AVM spontaneously regressed during a 5-year period. The spontaneous regression of this AVM in this patient with HHT supports the theory that AVMs associated with this syndrome have a different natural history than that of typical sporadic AVMs.
脑动静脉畸形(AVM)与遗传性出血性毛细血管扩张症(HHT)相关。我报告一例患有HHT且有四处脑AVM的患者,其中一处AVM在5年期间自发消退。该HHT患者的这处AVM自发消退支持了这样一种理论,即与该综合征相关的AVM具有与典型散发性AVM不同的自然病程。
