Also called CAMS
What it is
A rare, nonhereditary, complex cerebrofacial vascular malformation characterized by multiple ipsilateral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) with a metameric distribution, affecting various territories of the face with corresponding areas of the brain. The spectrum is highly variable with three types described according to lesion distribution: CAMS 1 derives from the medial prosencephalon with concurrent involvement of hypothalamus, nose, forehead; CAMS 2 arises from the lateral prosencephalon and involves basal ganglia, optic nerve and retina and maxillo-facial region; CAMS 3 derives from the rhombencephalon and involves cerebellum and mandible.
