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.
