AI Article Synopsis

  • Phakomatosis pigmentovascularis (PPV) is a syndrome that combines a vascular nevus with various pigmented lesions, and its types depend on the specific pigmented nevus present.
  • A case study of a 1-year-old girl revealed significant symptoms associated with PPV, including congenital glaucoma, facial paralysis, and skin abnormalities such as segmental capillary malformation and abnormal Mongolian spots.
  • Diagnosis and ongoing evaluations from multiple specialties, including Neurology and Ophthalmology, are essential to monitor and address potential systemic issues related to PPV.

Article Abstract

Phakomatosis pigmentovascularis (PPV) is a syndrome characterized by the association of a vascular nevus with a congenital pigmented lesion (epidermal nevus, nevus spilus, and dermal melanocytosis). There are different types of PPV according to the pigmentary nevus associated with the vascular malformation. Patients may present only the cutaneous condition or have systemic manifestations, among them, trauma, neurological and ophthalmological disorders. We report the case of a 1-year-old girl who had congenital glaucoma. On examination, we identified facial paralysis, bilateral ocular melanosis, segmental capillary vascular malformation on the face as on left trunk and extremities, and aberrant Mongolian spots on the upper back, lumbosacral area and buttocks. Due to clinical manifestation, the diagnosis of PPV was made. The patient was evaluated by Neurology, Traumatology and keeps on with ophthalmological controls. Complementary studies are important, to rule out extracutaneous manifestations in PPV.

Front Genet

January 2025

Genetics and Personalized Medicine Clinic, Institute of Clinical Medicine, University of Tartu, Tartu, Estonia.

Introduction: related disorders (PRD, OMIM: *171834) are genetic disorders resulting from pathogenic somatic mosaic variants in the gene, which encodes a protein crucial for regulating cell growth and division. PRD typically manifest during the post-zygotic phase, leading to a broad spectrum of overgrowth and vascular malformations affecting various body regions.

Methods: Conventional diagnostic methods struggle to detect and confirm pathogenic PIK3CA gene variants due to the mosaic nature of these disorders and the limited accessibility of affected tissues.

We present a pioneering case of a duplication of the common bile duct associated with agenesis of the dorsal pancreas in a 66-year-old man. After an episode of cholestatic jaundice, radiological investigations revealed complex vascular and biliary anomalies, redefining the therapeutic strategy. Instead of risky surgery, endoscopic biliopancreatic drainage resolved the symptoms.
