Phakomatosis pigmentovascularis IIb with hypoplasia of the inferior vena cava and the right iliac and femoral veins causing recalcitrant stasis leg ulcers - 29/08/11
Abstract |
We present a patient with phakomatosis pigmentovascularis (PPV) type IIb accompanied with venous hypoplasia, from the inferior vena cava to the superficial femoral vein.
