Hemorrhagic Hereditary Telangiectasia (HHT), or  Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome,  is a rare genetic disorder characterized by mucocutaneous telangiectasias and visceral arteriovenous malformations. <em>Aim and Methods</em>.We describe the case of a 64-year old woman  in which radiology was useful to interpret an apparently unexplained constellation of symptoms. <em>Results</em>. Brain MRI showing ischemic stroke, pulmonary angiography demonstrating arteriovenous malformations, and capsule endoscopy detecting telangiectasias in the jejunum, along with a clinical history of recurrent epistaxis, allowed us to diagnose HHT. <em>Conclusions.</em> HHT is rare and difficult to diagnose. Radiology can aid the clinical suspicion. www.actabiomedica.it</p>}, number={S1}, journal={Acta Biomedica Atenei Parmensis}, author={Bova, Carlo and De Bartolo, Tommaso and De Stefano, Roberto and Ruvio, Martina}, year={2022}, month={Sep.}, pages={e2022267} }
