The radiologic presentation of Osler-Weber-Rendu disease of the liver.
A case of Osler-Weber-Rendu disease with extensive hepatic arteriovenous fistulation is described in detail. Hemodynamic and imaging data indicated hepatic artery to hepatic vein shunting. Enhanced magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated the existence of arteriovenous fistulas by virtue of simultaneous enhancement of hepatic arteries and veins. Embolization treatment was not indicated because the patient was asymptomatic despite cardiac high output.
