  • Title: Blue rubber-bleb nevus syndrome: report of a familial case with a dural arteriovenous fistula.
    Author: Carvalho S, Barbosa V, Santos N, Machado E.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 2003 Oct; 24(9):1916-8. PubMed ID: 14561629.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a 45-year-old woman known to have a familial form of blue rubber-bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS). The patient developed severe occipital headaches and bilateral retroauricular bruits. Cerebral angiography showed a large dural arteriovenous fistula in the torcular region. Central nervous system involvement in BRBNS is not often reported, and most cases of BRBNS are sporadic.
