Cobb Syndrome Associated with Spinal Cavernoma – Case Report
Síndrome de Cobb associada a cavernoma medular – Relato de casoAuthors
Abstract
Cobb syndrome, or cutaneomeningospinal angiomatosis, is a rare condition that affects young adults, and its etiology has not been completely elucidated. It is characterized by a cutaneous sign, or stigma, associated with spinal or intracranial malformations. The symptoms are quite diverse, but, in most cases, the disease presents motor deficit and pain. The present study reports the case of a 48-year-old female patient, who initially sought dermatological medical care for a single skin lesion in the posterior cervical region. During the excision, it was noticed that the lesion had contiguous behavior to the deep anatomical planes, thus requiring the evaluation of the neurosurgical team. The purpose of this report is to describe this rare disease, covering more details about diagnosis and therapy.
Resumo
Síndrome de Cobb, ou angiomatose cutâneo-meningo-espinhal, é uma condição rara que afeta adultos jovens, e sua etiologia não foi completamente elucidada. Caracteriza-se por um sinal cutâneo, ou estigma, associado a malformações espinhais ou intracranianas. Os sintomas são bastante diversos, mas, na maioria dos casos, a doença apresenta déficit motor e dor. O presente estudo relata o caso de uma paciente do sexo feminino de 48 anos, que inicialmente procurou atendimento médico dermatológico para uma única lesão cutânea na região cervical posterior. Durante a excisão, notou-se que a lesão apresentava comportamento contíguo aos planos anatômicos profundos, exigindo assim a avaliação da equipe neurocirúrgica. O objetivo deste relatório é descrever essa doença rara, abrangendo mais detalhes sobre diagnóstico e terapia.
