초록
Hereditary haemorrhagic teleangiectasia (HHT) is characterized by vascular abnormalities in multiple organs, and therefore has diverse manifestations. We report a 15-year-old man who presented with seizure and embolic cerebral infarction associated with pulmonary arteriovenous malformation. He and his family members had history of recurrent epistaxis. The patient could be diagnosed as having HHT with ischemic stroke and seizure. Patients with HHT should be screened for the presence of arteriovenous malformaition using computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). (Korean Journal of Stroke 2007;9:62-65)
