Abstract
We describe a girl with a facial haemangioma, associated with other vascular anomalies: agenesis of the internal carotid artery, cerebral cortical dysplasia and hypoplasia of the cerebral hemisphere on the same side of the angioma. We studied the patient by conventional arteriography, T1- and T2-weighted MRI and magnetic resonance angiography.
