[Three cases of Rendu-Osler-Weber disease associated with abnormal tortuous hepatic arteries].
We reported three cases of Rendu-Osler-Weber disease. Sonography demonstrated markedly dilated, tortuous tubular structures surrounding the portal vein. Pulsed Doppler method showed phasic flow from these tubular structures. It was helpful in the diagnosis of such an intrahepatic vascular abnormality.
