According to this paper, Stevenson may have suffered hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (Osler-Rendu-Weber Syndrome), This would explain his chronic respiratory complaints, recurrent episodes of pulmonary hemorrhage, and his death, at age 44 years, of probable cerebral hemorrhage. It would also explain his mother's hitherto unreported but apparent stroke, at age 38 years.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10751091/Alparla (talk) 18:38, 7 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
An interesting comment. In fact, it was mentioned in Claire Harman's biography of Stevenson (listed in the main article under "Sources"). She says "Recently, two American researchers have introduced yet another thesis, that Stevenson may have suffered from haemorrhagic telangiectasia, or Osler-Rendu-Weber Syndrome ... It would also explain his mother’s and maternal grandfather’s similar symptoms". She cites as her source that same paper by Guttmacher andCallahan in the American Journal of Medical Genetics. Looks like there is enough information here to add to the article. Mike Marchmont (talk) 14:17, 8 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

For a large part of this section the only citation is for pages in Stevenson's Collected Works, with no other details about the edition, which I'm not sure is good enough. More importantly, most of the section only cites primary sources written by Stevenson himself, so much of it might be WP:OR. HyperbolicOats (talk) 20:08, 22 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
