Article Synopsis
- A retrospective study analyzed 435 infants with anogenital infantile hemangiomas (IHs), revealing that 73% of the patients were girls.
- The study found that 6.4% of these infants had associated congenital anomalies, with ulceration rates significantly higher for segmental or partial segmental IHs (72%) compared to focal IHs (45%).
- Key findings highlighted the increased odds of ulceration based on specific IH characteristics and locations, contributing to better understanding of high-risk features for these types of hemangiomas.
Dieulafoy's lesion (DL) is a small gastrointestinal (GI) mucosal erosion due to an abnormally large caliber and persistent submucosal arteriole. Typically occurring in adults, they are an extremely rare cause of GI bleeding in pediatrics. We report a case of multiple jejunal DLs in a 9-year-old girl with posterior fossa brain malformations, hemangiomas, arterial lesions, cardiac abnormalities, eye abnormalities (PHACE) syndrome, and the first described use of rapamycin in the treatment of pediatric DLs.
