Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation These metallic-density objects are most likely embolization coils. This is most likely secondary to prior embolization of arteriovenous malformations. 金屬高密度影考慮為肺動靜脈畸形栓塞的線圈,
Cysticercosis
Brain abscess Recurrent pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (as inferred by multiple, bilateral embolization coils and new AVM on the same-day CT) raises the possibility of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). A rim-enhancing brain mass in the setting of HHT puts brain abscess as the top differential diagnosis. 反復發(fā)作的肺動靜脈畸形(由雙側多發(fā)栓塞線圈及同一天CT所見的新發(fā)AVM病灶判斷)提示遺傳性出血性毛細血管擴張癥( hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia,HHT)的可能。有HHT病史的腦內(nèi)環(huán)形強化灶,應首先考慮腦膿腫的可能性。 True These lesions represent hepatic AVMs. Hepatic AVMs tend to be clinically silent so are not routinely screened. 肝內(nèi)病灶考慮肝臟AVM。肝臟AVM通常沒有臨床癥狀,因此不用常規(guī)篩查。 Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia

Findings
Initial chest radiograph: There are nodular opacities in the bilateral lungs that, in the context of numerous embolization coils, most likely represent pulmonary arteriovenous malformations. 最初胸片:兩肺內(nèi)結節(jié)影,結合肺內(nèi)多個栓塞線圈,考慮肺動脈畸形。 Chest CT: Multiple bilateral pulmonary arterial venous malformations that have increased from 1990. Status post bilateral embolization. 胸部CT:兩肺多發(fā)AVM栓塞術后,與1990年時相比,病灶數(shù)量增加。 Enhanced brain CT: A 2.9-cm rim-enhancing mass of the left thalamus with mild to moderate associated mass effect. In the context of hereditary hemorrhagic talengiectasia and clinical presentation of fever, this most likely represents an abscess. Though less likely, additional differential considerations include primary glial neoplasm or metastasis. 顱腦CT增強掃描:左側丘腦區(qū)環(huán)形強化灶,直徑約2.9cm,病灶可見輕至中度占位效應。結合患者診斷“遺傳性出血性毛細血管擴張癥”及發(fā)熱癥狀,考慮肺膿腫。其他鑒別診斷包括低級別神經(jīng)膠質(zhì)腫瘤和轉(zhuǎn)移瘤。 Abdominal CT: Numerous hepatic arteriovenous malformations are seen throughout the right and left hepatic lobes without active extravasation of contrast. 上腹部CT:肝臟左右葉多發(fā)AVM,未見明顯造影劑外滲。

Discussion Also known by its eponym, Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome, hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia is an autosomal dominant, rare condition caused by abnormal vascular structure. In telangiectasis, a postcapillary venule becomes markedly dilated and convoluted. Additionally, the connecting arterioles also become dilated and bypass the capillary bed to connect directly to the venules. There is perivascular infiltrate and thickened smooth muscle walls. The genetic predisposition has been linked to chromosome 9. 遺傳性出血性毛細血管擴張癥,根據(jù)其發(fā)現(xiàn)者的名字又稱Osler-Weber-Rendu綜合征,是一種罕見的常染色體顯性遺傳性血管異常。由于毛細血管擴張,毛細血管微靜脈明顯擴張、迂曲,小動脈也可見擴張,繞過毛細血管床直接與微靜脈相連。血管周圍滲出、血管壁平滑肌層增厚。 Clinical PresentationEpistaxis 鼻出血 Cutaneous telangiectases 皮膚毛細血管擴張 Multiple and bilateral pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (AVM)兩肺多發(fā)肺動靜脈畸形 Gastrointestinal tract - AVM and angiodysplasias of the liver, stomach, and small and large bowels 胃腸道:肝、胃、大腸、小腸的AVM或血管發(fā)育不良 Neurologic manifestations神經(jīng)形態(tài)表現(xiàn):
In patients with HHT, brain abscesses occur primarily in patients with pulmonary AVM. The pathogenesis of these brain abscesses are thought to arise from septic emboli passing through the AVM to the left-heart circulation, terminating in the small vessels of the brain. 毛細血管擴張癥的患者在,腦膿腫好發(fā)生于肺動靜脈畸形的患者。其病因主要是膿毒栓子穿過AVM、進入左心循環(huán),最后終止于腦的小血管。
Although only a small number (5% in at least one study) of patients with HHT are found to have cerebral AVMs, the presence of cerebral AVM is highly suggestive of HHT (50%). 僅有少量的HHT患者發(fā)現(xiàn)腦動靜脈畸形(5%),而腦AVM的發(fā)現(xiàn)高度提示HHT(50%).
Imaging Findings of HHT Contrast CT or CT angiography are used for lung and liver evaluation. Brain is best evaluated with contrast-enhanced MRI for cerebral AVM. 增強CT或CTA通常用于肺部和肝臟檢查。顱腦AVM最好由MRI增強掃描評估。 Chest CTBriskly enhancing arteriovenous malformations, arteriovenous fistulas動靜脈畸形病灶迅速強化,可見動靜脈瘺 Brain MRT1-weighted imaging, T2-weighted imaging: Cerebral AVM (cAVM) with flow voids and hemorrhage T1WI、T2WI:腦AVM可見流空血管影及出血。
MR angiography: cAVMs; contrast administration enhances sensitivity for small cAVMs MRA:可見腦AVM;增強掃描可見小的AVM病灶強化。 MR venography: May demonstrate developmental venous anomalies MR靜脈造影:可見發(fā)育異常的靜脈血管
