Atteinte hépatique au cours de la maladie de Rendu-Osler: à propos d’un cas et revue de la littérature

A 48 years-old-woman was admitted for anectric cholestasis. A history of recurrent personal and familial epistaxis was noted. Biologic findings revealed iron deficiency anemia and moderate cholestasis. Viral serologic tests, antimitochondrie and anti smooth muscle antibodies were negative. Abdominal tomography showed multiple arterio-venous shunts of the liver. The diagnosis of liver involvement due to Rendu Osler disease was made. Treatment with oral ferrous iron of 150 mg/day was administered and regular biological and morphologic controls of liver was decided.
