Background: Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is characterized by telangiectasia and larger vascular malformations. Liver malformations are the most frequent visceral involvement including the presence of portosystemic malformations (PSM) that can cause hepatic encephalopathy. Minimal hepatic encephalopathy (mHE) is characterized by alterations of brain function in neuropsychological or neurophysiological tests and decreases quality of life.

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by abnormal blood vessel formation, leading to recurrent epistaxis, cutaneous and mucosal telangiectases, and visceral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Hepatic involvement may result in complications such as high-output heart failure, portal hypertension, and biliary ischemia. We report an uncommon case of ischemic cholecystitis in a patient with HHT.

Background: Radiation-induced intestinal injury (RIII) interrupts the scheduled processes of abdominal and pelvic radiotherapy (RT) and compromises the quality of life of cancer survivors. However, the specific regulators and mechanisms underlying the effects of RIII remain unknown. The biological effects of RT are caused primarily by DNA damage, and ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) is a core protein of the DNA damage response (DDR).
