Abstract

The authors describe the hepatic angiographic findings in two patients with primary miliary hepatic tuberculosis. The main angiographic features are abnormalities of the distal arterioles, with small, nodular and irregular formations. The hepatic and portal veins are normal. To our knowledge, it is the first report of angiographic abnormalities in miliary tuberculosis of the liver. The diagnostic and pronostic interest of these findings are discussed.
