[Angiography of hepatic angiomatosis in Rendu-Osler disease. Apropos of 3 cases]
The hepatic changes in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (Rendu Osler's disease) involve the extra- and intrahepatic vessels (enlarged hepatic artery, arteriovenous fistulas and inhomogeneous perfusion) and the hepatic parenchyma (fibrosis, telangiectasic cirrhosis). From three observations with liver involvement and imaged with angiography and dynamic CT, the authors emphasize on the role of the latter for detection of these changes, mostly arteriovenous fistulas.
