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. Although it is not obvious whether this vascular anomaly, which is probably congenital, is coincidental or not, it is possible that the 2 diseases have some relationship each other, because PPV is thought to result from abnormal vasomotor activity during the embryonic period. In the diagnosis of type II PPV, careful examination and several studies are required to determine systemic involvement that may include large vessel changes.
