Abstract

Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant inherited Rare Disease that causes a systemic anomalous vascular overgrowth. The approach and follow-up of these patients should be from multidisciplinary units. Its diagnosis is carried out according to Curaçao clinical Criteria. Telangiectasia in the nasal mucosa cause recurrent epistaxis, the main symptom of HHT and difficult to control. The three types of hepatic shunting, hepatic artery to hepatic vein, hepatic artery to portal vein or to portal vein to hepatic vein, can cause high-output heart failure, portal hypertension or porto-systemic encephalopathy, respectively. These types of vascular involvement can be established using computerized tomography. Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula should be screened for all HHT patients by contrast echocardiography. The main objective is to review the management of epistaxis, liver and lung involvement of the adult patient with HHT.

Resumen

La telangiectasia hemorrágica hereditaria es una enfermedad minoritaria con herencia autosómica dominante que ocasiona un crecimiento vascular anómalo de forma sistémica. El abordaje y seguimiento de estos pacientes debería hacerse desde unidades multidisciplinares. Su diagnóstico es clínico según los criterios de Curaçao. Las telangiectasias en la mucosa nasal ocasionan epistaxis recurrentes, principal síntoma de esta enfermedad y de difícil control. Los 3 patrones de afectación hepática, comunicaciones entre arteria hepática y venas suprahepáticas, entre arteria hepática y vena porta o entre vena porta y venas suprahepáticas pueden causar insuficiencia cardiaca por hiperaflujo, hipertensión portal o encefalopatía hepática, respectivamente. Estos tipos de afectación vascular se pueden establecer mediante tomografía computarizada. Se debe realizar un cribado de fístulas arteriovenosas pulmonares a todos los pacientes mediante una ecocardiografía con contraste. Nuestro principal objetivo es realizar una revisión del manejo de las epistaxis, afectación hepática y pulmonar del paciente adulto con telangiectasia hemorrágica hereditaria.
