Instead of normal capillaries, individuals with HHT develop abnormal, fragile blood vessels called telangiectasias. While these can appear in various parts of the body, including the skin, gastrointestinal tract, lungs, and brain, they are most commonly found in the nose, leading to the hallmark symptom: recurrent nosebleeds (epistaxis).
Nasal telangiectasias are small, delicate blood vessels just beneath the surface of the nasal lining. They are prone to rupture, causing nosebleeds that can range from minor to severe, significantly impacting daily life and potentially leading to anemia due to chronic blood loss.

- Cauterization: Procedures like chemical, electrical, or laser cautery can seal off bleeding vessels. This may need to be repeated as new telangiectasias form.
- Septal Dermoplasty: A surgical procedure where
