Abstract

A 45 year-old woman with no history of familial disease presented with multiple cutaneous and cerebral cavernous angiomas. The diagnosis rested on biopsy for cutaneous angiomas and on MRI for cerebral angiomas. The clinical manifestations of cerebral angiomas were headaches and a cerebellar syndrome, the latter most probably due to progressive growth of cerebellar angiomas. Systematized cavernous angiomatosis is characterized by multiple angiomas of the brain and other viscera and is considered to be a phacomatosis.
