The age of patients with HHT at the time epistaxis and the age when diagnosis of GI telangiectasia, pulmonary, or liver AVM was confirmed. The onset of epistaxis was significantly earlier than the diagnosis of the visceral lesions (P < .01). There was no significant difference between the ages of diagnosis of visceral lesions, except that pulmonary AVM was diagnosed significantly earlier than GI telangiectasia (P < .05). AVM = arteriovenous malformation, GI = gastrointestinal, HHT = hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.
