MR of Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia:Prevalence and Spectrum of Cerebrovascular Malformations AJNR 19:477-484, Fulbright,R.K.,et al, 1998 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Our goal was to describe the prevalence and types of cerebral vascular malformations(CVMs)seen with MR imaging in patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia(HHT).We reviewed retrospectively the brain MR images of 184 consecutive patients with HHT.Catheter angiography was performed in 17 patients with CVMs detected on MR images.MR imaging of a large cohort of consecutive patients with HHT revealed a CVM prevalence of 23%(42/184).Most CVMs(48/63)have an atypical appearance for vascular malformations on MR images.Angiographic correlation suggests that MR imaging underestimates the prevalence of CVMs and that the majority of indeterminate CVMs,despite their variable MR appearance,are AVMs.
