| Résumé : | Introduction: Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare disease of the connective tissue in the skin, the eyes and the cardiovascular system. A study to search for abnormal cerebral vascular pathway in patients with Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) and/or angioïd streaks (ocular lesions mostly described in PXE) was performed. Patients and Methods: We investigated, through a prospective and a retrospective cases series in patients with PXE and/or angioïd streaks who respectively performed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or whose previous neurological imaging was read a second time. Results: We identified two patients with carotid rete mirabile and PXE. One in each group of 14 prospective and 9 retrospective patients with angioïd streaks. Conclusion: The association between these two rare diseases, PXE and CRM, is probably not just a coincidence. |
