Abstract
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum complicated by angioid streaks and various other vascular problems was described. The patient was a 69-year-old female and was found to be hypertensive with the left ventricular hypertrophy. Skin biopsies from bilateral sides of the neck disclosed a typical lesion indicating pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Subsequently, several complications were sorted out and hypertension has been well under control. Apart from angioid streaks and hypertension, the possibility of vascular Involvement, such as in the gastrointestinal tract, four extremities, lung and heart was cautioned. And, attention to this disorder, especially among internists, was aroused.
