[Cutaneous capillary malformations with cerebral implementation].

Capillary malformations - arteriovenous malformation, hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia and Sturge-Weber syndrome - are rare diseases in which cutaneous capillary malformations (CM) may be associated with cerebral vascular malformations. The clinical presentation of each disease is described with focus on how to distinguish them in the clinic and differential diagnoses are listed. This review finds that upon thorough and careful examination of patients, cutaneous CM might be a diagnostic hallmark for underlying disease and therefore a significant clinical observation.
