Severe Hepatic and Pulmonary Involvement in Rendu-Osler-Weber Syndrome

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.Case Rep Gastroenterol 2018;12:13 –18
