telangiosis

Definition of telangiosis

tel-angi--osis - abnormal capillary condition (abnormality in the ends of blood vessels). telangiosis describes pathological changes in capillaries and terminal arterioles, the smallest branches of the vascular system. It differs from telangiectasia (dilated vessels) by implying a broader disease process rather than just dilation; it’s rarely used clinically but appears in pathology contexts for microvascular disorders.
