Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome (OWR), also called Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a hereditary vascular disorder that is transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait, with an incidence of 1 per 8,000-16,500 inhabitants. Current recommendations for the treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding from OWR include the use of estrogen-progestogens and endoscopic treatment with argon plasma. We present the case of a 69-year-old man diagnosed with OWR who receives successful endoscopic management.
