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).
OBJECTIVE
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.


CONCLUSIONS
Patients with retinal arteriovenous malformations should be early examined with neuroradiological methods.
