A theory for polymicrogyria and brain arteriovenous malformations in HHT

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is generally considered a disorder of endothelial dysfunction, characterized by the development of multiple systemic arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), including within the brain. However, there have recently been a number of reports correlating HHT with malformations of cortical development, of which polymicrogyria is the most common type.
