Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) were incidentally found in 66.7% of pediatric PHACE syndrome patients. These asymptomatic lesions, under 5 mm, suggest a potential link and warrant further investigation in PHACE syndrome screening.
Area of Science:
- Neurocutaneous disorders
- Pediatric neurology
- Vascular malformations
Background:
- PHACE syndrome is a rare neurocutaneous disorder characterized by facial hemangiomas and extracutaneous anomalies, primarily affecting the cerebrovascular system.
- Current diagnostic criteria for PHACE syndrome do not include cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs).
- There are no prior reports linking CCMs with PHACE syndrome in pediatric populations.
