[Sturge-Weber disease: value of the topographic analysis of the facial angioma for the diagnosis of associated pial angioma (author's transl)].

A retrospective study was undertaken in 47 children with congenital capillary naevus of the face in order to appreciate the predictive value of the topography of the facial angioma for the diagnosis of associated pial angioma. In patients with Sturge-Weber disease, facial angioma concerned the whole upper eyelid, extending to the forehead and/or cheek. Less often, it was localized to the root of the nose; in such cases it was a port-wine, homogeneous angioma, with clearcut outlines, quite different from the angiomatous dots frequently seen in this area in neonates. Except for these rare cases, angiomas concerned only half or less of the upper eyelid and no pial angioma was associated. Finally, congenital capillary naevi with this topography typical of Sturge-Weber disease were frequently associated with pial angioma.

Cavernous angioma associated with venous angioma--two case reports.

A 17-year-old male and a 28-year-old female presented with cavernous angioma and venous angioma colocated in the same region, and manifesting as convulsions. The cavernous angiomas were extirpated without damage to the venous angioma. No postoperative neurological deficits were observed. The patients have been free of convulsions without anticonvulsant medication for 2 years. Early extirpation of cavernous angioma with presentation of venous angioma is recommended, preferably before bleeding occurs.

Tufted angioma (angioblastoma). A benign progressive angioma, not to be confused with Kaposi's sarcoma or low-grade angiosarcoma.

Twenty patients are described with an unusual form of angiomatous proliferation, which most commonly arose on the neck and upper trunk in young persons. Because of the histologic finding of small circumscribed angiomatous tufts and lobules scattered in the dermis, we suggest the term tufted angioma for this lesion. Over half the angiomas developed within the first 5 years of life, but only three patients reportedly had lesions at birth. The clinical course was variable, but most of the lesions slowly extended, eventually covering a large part of the trunk and neck in some patients. Despite the progressive spread of angiomas, they appear to be benign, and malignant change has not been encountered. The microscopic appearance of the angiomatous tufts shows some similarity to the angiomatous tissue of strawberry angioma, but the angiomatous lobules are much larger and extend deeper in the latter condition. Cell marker studies suggest that the cell lobules of the angiomas consist of closely packed blood capillary endothelial and perithelial cells. Familiarity with distinctive histologic features of tufted angioma should prevent these lesions from being misdiagnosed as either Kaposi's sarcoma or as angiosarcoma.

Intracerebral venous angioma with arterial blood supply: a mixed angioma.

An 18-year-old man was operated upon with a diagnosis of intracerebral hematoma. Although the angiogram of the right carotid artery demonstrated the characteristic umbrella appearance of the venous angioma in the parietal lobe, fine arterial branches supplying the vascular malformation were noted in the preoperative angiogram. At the operation, no nidus was found, and delicate angiomatous networks with red veins were observed around the hematoma cavity. Histologic examination of the angiomatous network proved it to be an arteriovenous malformation. It was a mixed angioma, which combined venous angioma and arteriovenous malformations. Clinical, angiographic, and pathological features of intracerebral venous angiomas with arterial components were reviewed from the literature.

[Venous angioma associated with cavernous angioma. Presentation of three cases].

Cavernous angiomas and venous angiomas may be discovered as associated lesions in the same patient. Most Authors report that Venous angiomas are not true vascular malformation; they should be considered as variant of normal venous drainage, consisting of tortuous medullary veins converging into a dilated draining one. By rule, they are quite asymptomatic, and very rarely bleed. On the other side, cavernous angiomas are true vascular malformations, usually angiographically occult. Their association is relatively rare, but it is important because of the possibility of bleeding, which should be related to the presence of the cavernous malformation. We report the cases of three patients studied by Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance and Digital Angiography in our Neuroradiologic Department.

Complications of angioma surgery--personal experience in 191 patients with cerebral angiomas.

In the last years, treatment decisions of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) were influenced by the improvement of stereotactic radiosurgery and were revolutionized by development of embolization techniques. The aim of this report was to examine the results, effectiveness, and complications associated with angioma surgery. 191 patients with AVMs were operated by the first author between 1981 and 1996. Angioma localization was distributed as follows: frontal 51 (26.7%), temporal 44 (23%), parietal 45 (23.6%), and occipital 24 (12.6%). Twelve (6.3%) AVMs were located in the cerebellum and 15 (7.9%) in other deep regions. Twenty-nine (15.2%) AVMs were associated with single or multiple aneurysms. The preoperative symptoms were hemorrhage (50.3%), seizure (33.5%), headache (23.0%), focal neurological deficits (12.6%), and other minor symptoms. In 9.9%, the disease remains preoperatively asymptomatic. Based on the Spetzler/Martin scale (S/M), 38 patients were grade I, 39 grade II, 52 grade III, 39 grade IV, and 23 grade V. The following severe complications were observed: postoperative hemorrhage in 13 (6.8%), infection in six (3.1%), infarction in two (1.0%), and death in three (1.6%). The risk for postoperative complications was related to the preoperative S/M grade of the AVM. Severe complications only occurred in AVM grades IV and V. In 62 patients with grade IV and V AVM, three patients died (4.8%) and 12 showed neurological deterioration (19.4%). Only 3/129 (2.3%) patients with grade I-III AVM deteriorated postoperatively. No severe complications were observed in preembolized and recently operated patients. Microsurgical management of cerebral AVMs seems to be a reasonably safe procedure especially in grade I-III AVMs, with a mortality of less than 2%. With enough experience and exact attention to detail, the experienced neurosurgeon can remove many of these AVMs with a minimum of risk to the affected patient. Although hemorrhage from an AVM can be disabling or deadly, the course in many nonoperated high-grade AVMs (S/M grades IV and V) can be quite benign, if compared with their surgical risk. This may justify conservative treatment or treatment with radiosurgery in some high-grade (S/M grades IV and V) angiomas, especially in elderly patients.

The results of operating upon cerebral aneurysms and angiomas in children and adolescents. II. Cerebral angiomas.

Symptomatic angiomas of the brain, brain stem or cerebellum are uncommon in all age groups. They usually present by subarachnoid and intraparenchymatous hemorrhage, but they may act as expanding mass lesions, as causes of ingavescent neurological deficit (?'steal phenomenon'), as epilepticogenic foci, or as a source of relentless headache. We have operated upon 20 patients, 18 years of age of less, with symptomatic angiomas. There has been no surgical mortality, and no patient has been made worse by operation.

Tufted angioma, a particular form of angioma.

Tufted angioma is a rare acquired cutaneous angiomatous proliferation characterized by slowly spreading erythematous macules and plaques, sometimes surmounted by nodular formations. Synonyms are progressive capillary hemangioma and Nakagawa's angioblastoma. Tufted angioma appears to be benign since follow-up studies did not report malignant transformation. This lesion must be distinguished from other vascular tumors, especially from Kaposi's sarcoma. If this lesion appears in an older patient, angiosarcoma should be excluded.

[Angiomas and angioma-like changes of the bronchial arteries (author's transl)].

Hyperplastic changes of the bronchial arteries may take the form of a racemose arteriovenous angioma or result from chronic bronchitis. Clinically, recurrent haemoptysis is a striking feature occurring in otherwise fit patients. The two forms can be distinguished by bronchial arteriography because of the difference in the appearance of the vessels. In the one condition there are circumscribed areas of arterial and venous, vascular abnormalities, in the other there is vascular hyperplasia, which is less clearly circumscribed. In both forms, broncho-pulmonary, i.e. arterio-venous anastomoses can be demonstrated; these may be considered as the cause of the haemoptyses.
