Abstract. Capillary telangiectasia is a vascular abnormality primarily of the brainstem. The clinical relevance is unclear as is the association with clearly pathologic findings such as cavernous haemangioma. We report on four cases with capillary telangiectasia proven by follow-up und describe the imaging characteristics. T2 abnormality was only observed in half of the patients as was the presence of a discernable collecting vein. Whereas two cases were incidental findings in neurologically normal persons and one had symptoms clearly attributable to lacunar stroke, one patient may have had symptoms due to the vascular abnormality in the pons.
