Bonnet–Dechaume–Blanc syndrome (also known as "Wyburn–Mason syndrome") is a rare condition characterized by a vascular malformation extending from the craniofacial to the orbital regions and brain.[1]

It was characterized in 1938.[2] The term "Wyburn–Mason syndrome" derives from a characterization made in 1943.[3]

It is sometimes considered a phakomatosis.[4]
