Osler Weber Rendu Sendromu: Tanı ve Tedavi Stratejisi

Abstract

Herediter hemorajik telanjiektazi (HHT), diğer adıyla Osler-Weber-Rendu sendromu, otozomal dominant geçiş gösteren, tekrarlayan burun kanamaları, mukokutanöz telanjiektaziler ve çeşitli iç organlarda arteriovenöz malformasyonlarla (AVM) karakterize vasküler bir hastalıktır. Bu olgu sunumunda nadir görülen bir HHT olgusunda tanı ve tedavi yaklaşımımızı sunmak ve farkındalığı arttırmayı amaçladık. Daha önce bilinen hastalığı olmayan 22 yaşında erkek hasta, iş başvurusu sonrası çekilen Toraks bilgisayarlı tomografisinde (BT) en büyüğü orta lobda 33x25 mm olmak üzere bilateral multipl pulmoner AVM’ler saptandı. Öykü, klinik bulgular ve radyolojik görüntülerin değerlendirilmesiyle HHT tanısı kondu. Hastaya uygun tedavi stratejisi kapsamında coil ile embolizasyon uygulandı. HHT tanısında en önemli adım hastalıktan şüphelenmektir. Epistaksis, pozitif aile öyküsü ve çoklu AVM varlığı tanıya önemli ölçüde yol gösterir. Standart bir tedavi protokolü bulunmadığından erken tanı ve hastaya özgü tedavi yaklaşımları önemlidir.

Osler-Weber-Rendu Syndrome: Diagnosis and Treatment Strategy

Abstract

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome, is an autosomal dominant vascular disorder characterized by recurrent epistaxis, mucocutaneous telangiectasias, and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in various organs. In this case report, we aimed to present our diagnostic and therapeutic approach in a rare case of HHT and to raise clinical awareness. A 22-year-old male patient with no known prior disease was evaluated after a thoracic computed tomography (CT) performed during a job application revealed bilateral multiple pulmonary AVMs, the largest measuring 33×25 mm in the middle lobe. Based on the patient’s history, clinical findings, and radiological features, a diagnosis of HHT was established. Coil embolization was performed as part of the individualized treatment strategy. Suspicion is essential for the diagnosis of HHT; epistaxis, family history, and multiple AVMs are key diagnostic clues. As there is no standard treatment protocol, early diagnosis and patient-specific therapeutic approaches are crucial.
