American Journal of Diseases of Children (1960)
|December 1, 1976
Summary
Cutaneomeningospinal angiomatosis, a rare condition, can cause paraplegia due to spinal arteriovenous malformations. Early diagnosis is key, especially when skin hemangiomas appear in children with spinal lesions.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Genetics
- Dermatology
Background:
- Cutaneomeningospinal angiomatosis is a rare condition involving vascular malformations of the skin and central nervous system.
- Intraspinal arteriovenous malformations can lead to significant neurological deficits, including paraplegia.
- Familial occurrence suggests a potential genetic component in some cases.
