Diagnosis and treatment of blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome in children

BRBNS in children presents atypical symptom and systemic complications. It should be dealt with seriously if gastrointestinal bleeding or orthopedic complication occurs. Treatment includes conservative, endoscopic and surgical options. Its recurrence with new angioma in the gastrointestinal tract needs laser-steroid therapy.

“…11 In BRBNS skin lesions typically appear in trunk (93%), limbs (86%), hip (36%), and face (26%). 12 In our case also, cutaneous lesions were similar to lesions of BRBNS. They were painless, bluish, compressible soft lesions over lip and mandible since birth.…”

Blue rubber bleb nevus: an uncommon cause of intestinal intussusception

“…The mortality and morbidity associated with Bean syndrome depend on the extent of visceral organ involvement [7]. In Bean syndrome, the skin and GI tract are most frequently involved with multiple vascular blebs and nodules [3]. GI involvement usually becomes evident during early adulthood, rarely in pediatric age [5].…”

“…It occurs sporadically, but a dominant autosomal inheritance has been described; a linkage of familial forms of venous malformation to chromosome 9p has recently been confirmed [1,3]. The cause of the syndrome is unknown.…”

Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome: à propos de deux cas

“…Une coagulation intravasculaire disséminée peut également survenir potentialisant le risque hémorragique [5]. L'endoscopie, la tomodensitomé-trie et l'imagerie par résonance magnétique constituent les principaux moyens diagnostics de la maladie [6,7]. La vidéocapsule constitue un moyen diagnostique important pour l'exploration de l'intestin grêle [8].…”
