Villare Syndrome

Villaret syndrome (or Villaret syndrome) is a disease first described by the French neurologist Maurice Villaret in 1912.

It is characterized by the presence of tumor-like formations on the skin and mucous membranes, as well as damage to peripheral nerves. Occurs mainly in children and adolescents.

The cause of Villaret syndrome is not completely clear. It is thought to occur due to a metabolic or immune system disorder.

For diagnosis, a blood test, electromyography and biopsy of the affected tissue are performed.

Treatment is mainly symptomatic - surgical removal of tumors and physical therapy. The prognosis depends on the severity of damage to the nervous system.
