Abstract

Maffucci syndrome is a rare congenital non-inherited condition characterized by multiple enchondromas and cutaneous hemangiomas. It is associated with increased risk of malignancy, including chondrosarcomas, and because of generalized mesodermal dysplasia, aneurysms can develop. We present a case of Maffucci syndrome associated with intracranial chondrosarcoma and aneurysm.
