Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome (hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, HHT) is a rare genetic blood vessel disorder. In this disease, some blood vessels are abnormally dilated and highly vulnerable, resulting in frequent bleeding (in particular nosebleeds).

Consultation and treatment

At Hirslanden Bern, we offer comprehensive consultation and treatment for patients with Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome. As the illness can affect a wide range of organs, interdisciplinary collaboration is essential. Interdisciplinary collaboration by our medical specialists ensures comprehensive and competent care.

Appointments are coordinated by a dedicated secretariat. The Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome consultations are offered every Monday and Tuesday.
