Wyburn-Mason syndrome (also known as Bonnet-Dechaume-Blanc syndrome) is a rare, nonhereditary neurocutaneous disorder that typically presents with unilateral vascular malformations that primarily involve the brain, orbits and facial structures. It is classified as a cerebrofacial arteriovenous metameric syndrome (CAMS) 3,4.
Pathology
Features include:
facial vascular nevus
visual pathway and orbital arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), e.g. racemose angioma
intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) commonly in mid-brain 6
Cases of bilateral malformations have been described and there is an association with subarachnoid hemorrhage.
