HERRERA, Diego Alberto; VARGAS, Sergio Alberto  and  MONTOYA, Claudia. Neuroimaging findings in cerebroretinal microangiopathy with calcifications and cysts . Biomédica [online]. 2014, vol.34, n.2, pp.166-170. ISSN 0120-4157.  https://doi.org/10.7705/biomedica.v34i2.2193.

Cerebroretinal microangiopathy with calcifications and cysts is a rare condition characterized by brain, retinal and bone anomalies, as well as a predisposition to gastrointestinal bleeding. There are few reported cases of this condition in adults, among whom the incidence is low. Neuroimaging findings are characteristic, with bilateral calcifications, leukoencephalopathy and intracranial cysts. The purpose of this article was to do a literature survey and illustrate two cases diagnosed with the aid of neuroimaging.

Keywords : Neuroimaging; magnetic resonance spectroscopy; brain; leukoencephalopathies; neurosurgery; neurology.
