Cobb Syndrome
A rare congenital but non-hereditary disorder characterized by angiomas or arteriovenous malformations of the spinal cord. Clinical signs include sudden onset of radicular pain localizable to a dermatome with overlying cutaneous vascular lesions. Untreated, the clinical course follows a progression of sensory loss, weakness to paralysis and incontinence. However, clinical prognosis improves with endovascular embolization and/or surgical excision of the spinal lesion. (NCI Thesaurus)
