AI Article Synopsis
- Oral propranolol is a standard treatment for infantile hemangioma, but its safety in PHACE syndrome is uncertain due to stroke risks.
- A four-month-old girl with PHACE syndrome and a significant facial hemangioma was effectively treated with propranolol.
- The treatment was successful without any reported negative side effects.
Article Abstract
Oral propranolol is commonly used as a first-line treatment for infantile hemangioma. However, its use in PHACE (posterior fossa anomalies, hemangioma, arterial anomalies, cardiac anomalies, and eye anomalies) syndrome raises concerns that it might exacerbate the patient's risk of stroke. Here, we report the case of a four-month-old premature girl with PHACE syndrome, who presented with a large hemangioma involving the left side of her face, following the V1+V2+V3 distribution, including the upper lip, left ear, and left eye. This condition was successfully treated with propranolol, and no adverse side effects were reported.

A 13-month-old boy presented to the pediatric ophthalmology clinic at BC Children's Hospital for strabismus assessment. On examination he had a right facial hemangioma, left ptosis, and left exotropia and hypotropia. Magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography of his head demonstrated posterior cerebral artery tortuosity producing mild mass effect on the left oculomotor nerve.

Article Synopsis
- Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are common vascular tumors that typically develop during the first few weeks of an infant's life, but the precursor lesions can be mistaken for other conditions.
- A study reviewed nine cases of neonates with initial lesions observed on their first day, comparing these early signs with classic IHs and documenting treatment details.
- Better identifying precursor lesions can enhance diagnosis, minimize unnecessary procedures, and lead to quicker evaluations for related syndromes in more severe cases.

Article Synopsis
- - A girl with glaucoma in her right eye also had facial and neck hemangiomas, raising concerns for a complex condition called PHACE syndrome, which includes various anomalies.
- - MRI revealed underdevelopment of the right internal carotid artery, linking her symptoms to brain and vascular issues associated with PHACE syndrome.
- - Advanced eye imaging (AS-OCT) revealed issues with eye structure that contributed to elevated pressure in her right eye, suggesting that understanding these developmental problems could provide insights into PHACE syndrome's origins.
