title: [Cerebral lesions in a case of Degos' disease].
abstract: The central nervous system may be involved in Degos disease, but neuropathologic observations are still few. We report a typical case with cerebral involvement. The diagnosis was suggested by the characteristic skin lesions and vascular damage. In the central nervous system, occlusive changes of small arteries were responsible for areas of ischaemic necrosis. These foci of infarction were of varying size, age and distribution. Intestinal lesions were discrete and death was due to several cerebral infarcts.
