<p>Abstract</p> <p>Purpose</p> <p>Follow-up of vascular changes in a patient with congenital retinocephalofacial vascular malformation syndrome.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>MRI and cerebral angiography.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>In a 36-year-old man, magnetic resonance im aging of the skull and cerebral angiography revealed left intracranial arteriovenous malformations. Follow-up observation of 27 years revealed no essential change of retinal and cerebral arteriovenous malformations. Additional congenital deficits in this patient were described.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Patients with retinal arteriovenous malformations should be early examined with neuroradiological methods.</p>
