| heal.abstract | Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome (BRBNS) is a rare disorder characterized by venous malformations usually affecting the skin and the gastrointestinal tract. These skin haemangiomas are present at birth and deteriorate as the body grows, causing primarily cosmetic problems. The haemangiomas of the gastrointestinal tract may appear later in life and may bleed, causing chronic anaemia, or may present with severe complications such as rupture, intestinal torsion, and intussusception. Other organs may also be involved. This article describes a 13-year-old boy with multiple haemangiomas of the skin, the mucous membranes, and the gastrointestinal tract, which caused anaemia and ileoileic intussusception. In this patient, the nervous system was significantly affected with a haemangioma of the left occipital lobe, with complications of stroke. He also had multiple paravertebral heamangiomas, which caused pressure signs and symptoms. This boy suffered from complex partial and generalized seizures and cerebral palsy. Multiple skeletal anomalies were also present from birth. In the relevant literature, this is the first case of BRBNS with simultaneous neurological and skeletal involvement. Such cases should be recognized early, as they can lead to serious multiple health problems and handicaps. | en |
