A patient with fibromatosis of the skull and a so-called "parophthalmicus syndrome" is described in whom there was hypoplasia and stenosis of the homolateral internal carotid artery and aplasia of the ophthalmic artery. The vascular changes in this phakomatosis are discussed. We suggest that the vascular changes in the carotid be included in the extended parophthalmicus syndrome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
