Putting LUMBAR on Your Radar.

Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are the most common vascular tumors in children. While many are uncomplicated, a significant minority can cause cutaneous complications or be associated with multiorgan congenital anomalies. Infants with so-called "segmental" IH (patterned and not round) are at-risk for two related syndromes: PHACE (posterior fossa anomalies, hemangioma of the head or neck, cerebrovascular arterial anomalies, cardiac and eye anomalies) and LUMBAR (IH of the lower body; urogenital anomalies and IH ulceration; spinal cord malformations; bony, anorectal, arterial, and renal anomalies).
