Morning glory disc anomaly associated with large facial infantile hemangioma as the presenting signs of PHACE syndrome

Anomalia de “Morning Glory” associada à extenso hemangioma infantil como apresentação da Síndrome PHACE

ABSTRACT

Infantile hemangioma, the most common benign tumor in infancy, is usually an isolated condition occurring in many different locations in the body. However, large infantile hemangioma may be associated with other systemic malformations, including central nervous system, cerebrovascular, cardiac, and ophthalmology abnormalities, a condition termed PHACE syndrome. In this paper, we describe a case of PHACE syndrome that was presented with the unique association of a large facial infantile hemangioma and morning glory anomaly.
