Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Vascular Medicine

Background:

  • Wyburn-Mason syndrome, also known as retinocephalic vascular malformations, is a rare congenital disorder.
  • It involves abnormal arteriovenous connections in the retina, brain, and face.

Observation:

  • A 12-year-old male presented with sudden onset unilateral blindness and proptosis (exophthalmos).
  • Clinical examination revealed significant ophthalmic abnormalities consistent with AVMs.
  • Neurological and radiological assessments were performed to evaluate intracranial involvement.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with retinocephalic vascular malformations, consistent with Wyburn-Mason Syndrome.
  • Ophthalmic findings included retinal arteriovenous malformations.
  • Neurological imaging demonstrated associated intracranial vascular abnormalities.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management are crucial for patients with Wyburn-Mason Syndrome.
  • Understanding the spectrum of ophthalmic, neurological, and radiological findings is essential for effective treatment.
  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare syndromes in the evaluation of unilateral visual loss and proptosis.
