ANGIOMATOUS tumours of the retina have been recognized and reported in the literature for many years. Although the first case was recorded by Panas and Remy (1879), and several others followed this publication, retinal angiomatosis was established as a clinical entity, presenting typically in infancy or early childhood, by von Hippel (1904) and was associated with angiomatosis of the central ne...

Bacillary angiomatosis (BA) is a rare condition that usually affects immunosuppressed patients. It is a vascular proliferative disorder due to Bartonella henselae or B. quintana. We present here an immunocompetent patient with BA. There was no history of the patient direct or indirect contact with cats.

Case series summary Two cats aged between 1 and 2 years were presented for paraparesis, general discomfort, back pain and urinary retention. Extradural spinal cord compression at the level of T4 and T8 was evident on CT examination and on MRI. Hemilaminectomy and partial corpectomy were performed to achieve spinal cord decompression. Histopathology of the abnormal bone tissue was suggestive of ...

El síndrome de Sturge-weber (SSW), también conocido como angiomatosis encefalotrigeminal es un trastorno vascular congénito, poco frecuente, con causas aún desconocidas, sin patrón herencia definido, que se caracteriza por una tríada angioma facial plano, malformaciones leptomeníngeas y lesiones oftálmicas; complicaciones podrían llegar a ser incapacitantes. Se presenta el caso niño 1 año diagn...

Sturge-Weber angiomatosis is a rare, nonhereditary developmental condition characterized by a hamartomatous vascular proliferation involving the tissues of brain and face. A report of a case with facial port wine stains, gingival overgrowth, and dilated ocular vessels is described.

PURPOSE To evaluate the changes occurring in spinal aneurysm (SA) size related to modification of endovascularly treated AVMs. METHODS Fourteen patients with an intramedullary AVM and associated SA underwent endovascular treatment of their AVM with particles. Embolization sessions numbered from one to 14 (mean five) in each patient. RESULTS Four patients had SAs with size changes mirroring ...

Introduction: Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is an HIV associated skin lesion. Kaposi sarcoma is rare in HIV negative patients and is associated with HHV-8 infection. Clinically it presents as a pink nodular mass, single or multiple which can mimic pyogenic granuloma and bacillary angiomatosis. The etiology associated with HHV-8. Treatment options modalities can vary between from electrocuatery to surgica...

Bacillary angiomatosis and parenchymal bacillary peliosis are recently described vascular disorders associated with infection by Rochalimaea henselae and Rochalimaea quintana, which occur in patients with either human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or druginduced immune suppression (1-5). In addition, R. henselae and R. quintana (also the agent of trench fever) are both members of the f...
