“…The presence of a subcutaneous vascular low flow lesion (formerly called cavernous hemangioma) would be consistent with reported findings in M-CMTC, though this child's visceral hemangioma is the first reported in M-CMTC. This child does not exhibit macrodactyly, bony lesions, nor the palmar or plantar hyperplasia seen in Proteus syndrome [Vaughn et al, 1993] and furthermore shows brain dysgenesis and developmental delay not usually seen in Proteus syndrome. The brain dysgenesis visu- alized on MRI is consistent with previous reports in M-CMTC, but is more extensive, and suggests that dysplasia of the brain is the cause of developmental delay in M-CMTC.…”

“…However, only a few reports have been found in the literature with a comparably severe manifestation (Vaughn et al, 1993;Tattelbaum and Dufresne, 1995;Pinto et al, 1998;Gilbert-Barness et al, 2000;Becktor et al, 2002). The time of onset of hyperostosis is known to be variable but most of the manifestations occur during the first year of life (Tattelbaum and Dufresne, 1995).…”

“…As this syndrome is progressive in character, the craniofacial distortion typically increases with age. Therefore, early corrective procedures help to improve normal development and improve quality of life (Vaughn et al, 1993;GilbertBarness et al, 2000). Simple corrective procedures might be performed in early life.…”
