Unilateral nevoid telangiectasia syndrome.
We report on a 29-year-old patient with a unilateral nevoid telangiectasia syndrome (UNTS). Based on microcirculation examinations, both functional impairments at the blood vessel level (laser-Doppler flowmetry) and morphologically altered capillaries (capillary microscopy) could be observed. We could demonstrate that microcirculatory examinations are suitable to demonstrate pathophysiological defects at the vascular level, especially since subclinical functional defects can also be recorded. To our knowledge, no such observations have yet been published with regards to UNTS.
