ABSTRACT
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT ) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease characterized by telangiectasias of the skin , mucou s membranes, and various organ sy stem. HHT is not unusual in western countries but there were several reported cases of HHT in Korea.

T he patient was diagnosed as a HHT complicated by high output heart failure caused by intrahepatic arteriovenous malformation. This case is reported with a review of relevant literature.(Korean J Hepatol 2000 ;6 :5 14 - 5 18)
