ABSTRACT
Osler-Weber-Rendu disease is characterized by epistaxis, cutaneous telangiectasia, and visceral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). A 65-year-old male with recurrent epistaxis, old infarction and recent multiple rib fractures caused by a bicycle accident had middle cerebral thromboembolic infarctions when he stopped taking clopidogrel due to massive epistaxis and hemopneumothorax. On examinations, there was no focal cerebral stenosis, but there were telangiectasia, pulmonary and hepatic AVMs. A suspicious Osler-Weber-Rendu disease patient should be evaluated by proper screening and regular follow-up to minimize serious sequelae such as thromboembolic stroke.
