“…36 In cases of unilateral absence of the internal carotid artery, the filling of both anterior cerebral arteries through the normal contralateral internal carotid artery via the anterior communicating artery has been reported without any mention of the presence or absence of cutaneous vascular malformation. [23][24][25]37 This has also been observed in cases with facial vascular anomalies, 12,32,38,39 in patients with absence or hypoplasia of 1 internal carotid artery and also in cases with both normal carotids. Fourteen patients of this series with origin of both anterior cerebral arteries from the same internal carotid artery showed absence or hypoplasia of 1 carotid and 6 had formed both internal carotid artery.…”

The association of persistent embryonic arteries and the absence of 1 carotid or vertebral arteries with facial or neck hemangioma or vascular malformation have been frequently described. The abnormalities can involve major or minor vessels. Of 22 patients of our series with this neurocutaneous syndrome, 20 had the origin of both anterior cerebral arteries from the same internal carotid artery. Thirteen patients showed absence or hypoplasia of 1 carotid artery and 10 of 1 vertebral artery; 10 showed persistence of the trigeminal artery; 3 had persistent proatlantal artery; 6 showed the absence of the posterior communicating artery; and 4 had hypoplastic posterior cerebral artery. Other less frequent abnormalities were found in 7 patients. Intellectual level of most patients was either borderline or below normal. Abnormalities in the vascularization and perfusion of the frontal lobes may contribute to the borderline or lower mental level of these patients.
