Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia can cause bloody tears, a rare symptom. This case report aids surgeons in diagnosing this condition and its varied presentations.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Genetics

Background:

  • Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a genetic disorder affecting blood vessels.
  • Ocular manifestations of HHT, though uncommon, require clinical recognition.

Observation:

  • A case of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia presenting with recurrent bloody tears is detailed.
  • Associated conjunctival, oral mucosal, and cutaneous vascular anomalies were noted.

Findings:

  • Bloody tears in HHT are attributed to fragile, abnormal blood vessels (telangiectasias) in the conjunctiva or surrounding structures.
  • Systemic and ocular findings of HHT are discussed in relation to the presented case.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering HHT in the differential diagnosis of bloody tears.

  • Ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgeons should be aware of HHT's potential ocular and systemic impact.
