Abstract

We present the case of a young woman with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia and unusual findings on magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. Although no cerebral arteriovenous malformaties are observed on the magnetic resonance angiography, two small isolated hemorrhages are observed in the brainstem, an asymptomatic one in a colliculus superior at the level of the mesencephalon and a symptomatic one in the anterior part of the pons. The lesions are most probably the results of embolic strokes.
