ABSTRACT

Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome or Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare condition, with very few reported cases, especially in Pakistan. As healthcare workers, we encounter multiple cases of recurrent epistaxis in the emergency as well as outpatient departments. However, patients are usually treated symptomatically without a thorough workup. HHT should be considered among the differentials for recurrent epistaxis, as a clinical diagnosis can be made with detailed family history and physical examination. Here is the case of a 58-year-old male who presented to the Gastroenterology OPD, Combined Military Hospital, Lahore, in November 2021, with complaints of generalised weakness and blood in stools. He had a history of recurrent epistaxis and telangiectasias, and further inquiry revealed a strong family history of similar symptoms. He was diagnosed as a case of Osler-Weber- Rendu Syndrome. Informed consent was taken from the patient prior to the writing of the manuscript.
