Abstract:
:The purpose of this study is to report the neuroradiological manifestations of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). One hundred and thirty-nine Japanese HHT patients (73 men and 66 women, aged 2-78 years) were included in this study. Diagnosis of HHT was based on genetic analysis and/or clinical diagnosis of Curaçao. They included 68 HHT1 and 37 HHT2 patients. Essentially, all patients underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and pulmonary computed tomography (CT). Contrast enhanced studies of brain MRI and hepatic CT were performed in a subset of patients. Catheter cerebral angiography was performed when indicated. Their neuroradiological features were reviewed retrospectively. Various imaging abnormalities were found. Brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) were observed in 27/136 patients (19.9%, 21 patients with HHT1 and 1 patient with HHT2). Pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) were found in 73/137 patients (65.2%, 45 patients with HHT1 and 6 patients with HHT2). Cerebral infarction and brain abscess were found in 17 patients and 3 patients with pulmonary AVFs, respectively. T1 high lesions in the basal ganglia suggestive of porto-venous shunts were observed in 51/136 patients (37.5%, 9 patients with HHT1 and 28 patients with HHT2). Hepatic AVMs were observed in 61/136 patients (44.9%, 15 patients in HHT1 and 29 patients in HHT2). Brain AVMs and pulmonary AVFs were more common in HHT1 than in HHT2 (both p < 0.01), but hepatic AVMs were conversely more common in HHT2 than in HHT1 (p < 0.01). In conclusion, HHT patients present with a variety of neuroradiological manifestations, which are related to substantial causes of morbid-mortality in HHT.
