Abstract

PHACE syndrome is a syndrome of multiple organ and multisystem abnormalities associated with infantile segmental hemangioma, characterized by abnormal posterior fossa development, infant hemangioma, aortic abnormalities, aortic coarctation and heart defects, eye anomalies and other symptoms. The incidence of the disease is low, but there exist life-threatening factors. Once clinically diagnosed, it should be highly valued and multidisciplinary consultation must be conducted. This article reviews the diagnostic criteria of PHACE syndrome and its associated facial segmental hemangioma, as well as the treatment and prognosis of brain abnormalities.
