no. 603285), and hemichorea associated with a contralateral pallidal cavernoma. The study was carried out in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and the national laws for the protection of personal data; the patient signed an informed consent before starting any investigation. A 33-year-old man with recent-onset right hemichorea came to our attention. Family history was negative for neurological diseases. His physical examination showed multiple skin lesions on both legs and on the left lower eyelid (Fig. 1a,b). They were papular, dark red-purple in color, of elastic consistency, some with marked superficial hyperkeratosis, surrounded by an irregularly shaped hemorrhagic halo. Diagnosis of HCCVM was confirmed by biopsy. Histopathological examination revealed dilated, blood-filled vessels in the epidermal thickness and dermis, with overlying epidermal acanthosis and hyperkeratosis (Fig. 1c). Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed multiple CCM and in particular a left pallidal cavernoma (Fig. 1d). Direct sequencing of the three causative genes was performed and a heterozygous nonsense mutation (c.103C>T; p.Arg35X), previously reported in few CCM families, was revealed in the CCM3/PDCD10 gene (Fig. 1e). His parents refused brain MRI and molecular genetic testing. However, a recent clinical examination of the patient’s mother revealed skin lesions similar to those presented by the patient, suggesting vertical transmission of the disease. All previously published patients with HCCVM carried CCM1/KRIT1 mutations, suggesting a strong genotype/phenotype correlation. Our case shows that mutations in the CCM3/PDCD10 gene also could be associated with HCCVM, even if more rarely, and that the presence of HCCVM should not necessarily suggest a CCM1/KRIT1 mutation. Contralateral hemichorea has been already reported as uncommon presentation of a vascular isolated pallidal lesion. Our case suggests that also a cavernoma with pallidal localization may be an unusual cause of hemichorea if it gives rise to bleeding.
