Purpose: Case report Methods:The authors describe the clinical evolution and therapy of a 2 years old boy with an extensive congenital facial haemangioma. Clinical investigation and imaging techniques revealed a huge angiomatous malformation involving the face and the orbit with fundoscopic changes, as well as hemicerebellar hypoplasia, and a complex intracranial vascular malformation extending to the spinal cord. Conclusion:The association of facial haemangioma, cerebellar development abnormalities and intracranial vascular malformation has recently been described as a new neurocutaneous syndrome. This child fills the criteria of this syndrome, although it could also be classified as a case of Wyburn Mason syndrome.
