Capillary malformation–arteriovenous malformation syndrome is an autosomal dominant
disorder caused by mutations in the RASA 1 gene and characterized by multiple small,
round to oval capillary malformations with or without arteriovenous malformations.
Ateriovenous malformations occur in up to one‐third of patients and may involve the brain
and spine. Although making the diagnosis is straightforward in some patients, there are
other patients for whom diagnostic criteria may be helpful in their evaluation. Here we review …

Abstract
Capillary malformation–arteriovenous malformation syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the RASA1 gene and characterized by multiple small, round to oval capillary malformations with or without arteriovenous malformations. Ateriovenous malformations occur in up to one‐third of patients and may involve the brain and spine. Although making the diagnosis is straightforward in some patients, there are other patients for whom diagnostic criteria may be helpful in their evaluation. Here we review the literature regarding capillary malformation−arteriovenous malformation syndrome, propose diagnostic criteria, and discuss the care of patients with this condition.
