A 54-year-old woman developed epilepsy and gait disorder. The initial CCT showed multiple intracerebral cysts. Histologically these turned out to be cavities from repetitive bleedings out of abnormal vessels in the border region. Regular observation during 7 years showed spontaneous episodes of regression and progression of the cysts. In addition, multiple hemangiomas of the skin were found. The case presented here represents an unusual manifestation of neurocutaneous angiomatosis.
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.
