Phakomatosis pigmentovascularis type 2a: a rare case report

PPV manifests through the simultaneous presence of vascular and melanocytic components. The classification of PPV has evolved over time, incorporating additional types and simplified groupings. Our case aligns with PPV type 2a and underscores the necessity for investigations considering potential systemic complications. Despite the generally benign course of PPV, tailored interventions, such as laser therapy, prove valuable for cosmetic improvement. The importance of regular follow-ups and collaboration among medical specialties, especially in Neurology, Ophthalmology, and Vascular surgery, is necessary for comprehensive care of individuals with PPV.

Abstract

PPV manifests through the simultaneous presence of vascular and melanocytic components. The classification of PPV has evolved over time, incorporating additional types and simplified groupings. Our case aligns with PPV type 2a and underscores the necessity for investigations considering potential systemic complications. Despite the generally benign course of PPV, tailored interventions, such as laser therapy, prove valuable for cosmetic improvement. The importance of regular follow-ups and collaboration among medical specialties, especially in Neurology, Ophthalmology, and Vascular surgery, is necessary for comprehensive care of individuals with PPV.
