Wyburn-Mason syndrome

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 currently classified as a craniofacial arteriovenous metameric syndrome (CAMS) .

Pathology

Features include:

  • facial vascular nevus
  • visual pathway and orbital arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), e.g. racemose angioma
  • intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs)

Cases of bilateral malformations have been described and there is an association with subarachnoid hemorrhage.
