Twenty-seven years follow-up of a patient with congenital retinocephalofacial vascular malformation syndrome and additional congenital malformations (Bonnet-Dechaume-Blanc syndrome or Wyburn-Mason syndrome)

Abstract

Purpose: Follow-up of vascular changes in a patient with congenital retinocephalofacial vascular malformation syndrome. Methods: MRI and cerebral angiography. Results: In a 36-year-old man, magnetic resonance imaging of the skull and cerebral angiography revealed left intracranial arteriovenous malformations. Follow-up observation of 27 years revealed no essential change of retinal and cerebral arteriovenous malformations. Additional congenital deficits in this patient were described. Conclusion: Patients with retinal arteriovenous malformations should be early examined with neuroradiological methods. © I. Holzapfel Publishers 2010.
