Diffuse meningocerebral angiodysplasia and renal agenesis: a case report
Abstract
A third case of meningocerebral angiodysplasia involving the cerebral cortex, with necrosis of both cortex and white matter is described in a neonate with Potter's syndrome. It is suggested that cortical vessel anomalies act as a local intracerebral shunt to produce periventricular infarction. This disorder differs from pure meningeal angiectasis without cerebral infarction and from the classic arteriovenous malformation of the central nervous system with massive systemic shunt, cardiomegaly, and neonatal cardiac failure. Meningocerebral angiodysplasia and renal agenesis appear to form a rare but distinct association.
