Congenital vascular malformation associated with multiple cranial, vertebral and upper limb skeletal abnormalities

Abstract

The association between congenital vascular malformations and altered bone growth, the so-called vascular bone syndrome, is well documented. Various eponymous syndromes each with their individual traits, such as Klippel–Trenaunay, Parkes–Weber and Servelle–Martorell syndrome have been described, along with variations. We report on a previously undescribed case of congenital vascular malformation associated with multiple skeletal abnormalities affecting the skull, vertebrae and right upper limb, and discuss the literature.
