An infant with a segmental hemangioma: Sturge-Weber?

Cleo Park et al. Semin Pediatr Neurol. 2008 Dec.

Abstract

A 6-week-old infant was referred for possible Sturge-Weber syndrome. The patient had a segmental hemangioma primarily involving the left eye. Subsequent evaluation suggested the diagnosis of PHACES syndrome, which is discussed. The risks to vision presented by the orbital involvement of the hemangioma should be noted.
