Objectives: Infantile hemangioma (IH) is a benign vascular tumor that occurs in 5% of infants, predominantly in female and preterm neonates. Propranolol is the mainstay of treatment for IH. Given the short half-life of propranolol regarding β-adrenergic receptor inhibition as well as its side effects, propranolol is administered to infants 2-3 times daily with 1 mg/kg/dose.

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders affecting approximately 50 million people worldwide. It impacts people of all genders and ages, but evidence suggests a higher incidence rate in children and the elderly. Given that childhood epilepsy has the risk of causing developmental epileptic encephalopathy, which is associated with intellectual, behavioral, and/or motor disabilities, proper assessment of children with new-onset epilepsy at an early stage is essential to prevent threats affecting neurodevelopmental processes.

Infantile haemangiomas are a common presentation in infants within the first few months of life. The majority of haemangiomas are benign; however, large haemangiomas (≥5 cm), especially those involving the face, may indicate a more serious underlying neurocutaneous disorder known as PHACE (Posterior fossa malformations, Haemangioma, Arterial anomalies, Coarctation of the aorta/Cardiac defects and Eye abnormalities) syndrome. The authors report an unusual case of possible PHACE syndrome in a young male toddler with a large facial haemangioma.
