We report the case of a young woman with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) with severe liver involvement and pulmonary shunting. The medical imaging in this patient illustrates the severe shunting that can occur in these patients who often are asymptomatic. By showing this case, we want to highlight the role of liver transplantation in HHT with hepatic involvement.
我们报告了一例患有遗传性出血性毛细血管扩张症(HHT)且伴有严重肝脏受累和肺分流的年轻女性病例。该患者的医学影像显示了这些通常无症状的患者可能出现的严重分流情况。通过展示此病例,我们想强调肝移植在伴有肝脏受累的HHT中的作用。
