Revision of the syndrome from an illustrative caseArcos Sánchez C., Salinas Vela FT., Echeandia Ajamil C., Olmedilla Gonzalez MN., Garrido Carrión A., Antón Barca R.,Molina Foncea AF.SUMMARY: Introduction: Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome also known as hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (THH) isconsidered as a rare cause of stroke in young people. Also pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (MAVP) are related tobrain abscess. Method: We describe the case of a 52 years old female patient that, during a migraine attack, suffers a progressiveonset of weakness in left body with numbness. In the evolution there appear signs of altered consciousness and intracranialhypertension, due to a cerebral abscess caused by a septic embolism as a manifestation of PAVM. Results: Through the clinicalhistory we reached the diagnosis of THH confirm by genetic studies, our patient shows, by means of MLPA (MultiplexLigation-dependent Probe Amplification), a complete delection of one of the alelo of Endogline (ENG) gene. Conclusions:Rendu-Osler-Weber disease, although its low prevalence, should be consider as a cause of brain abscesses in patients with historyof pulmonary fistula. The follow of these patients with THH is very important to minimize the risk of fatal events. Thediagnostic criteria are clinic but molecular studies can confirm the presence of genetic mutations related to this disease.KEY WORDS: Brain abscess. Rare Stroke Syndromes.
