Abstract
Prenatal diagnosis of PHACE syndrome (Posterior fossa malformations, Hemangiomas, Arterial anomalies, Cardiac defects and Eye abnormalities)1,2 is reported rarely in the medical literature; therefore, detecting a fetal posterior fossa malformation, particularly an asymmetry between cerebellar lobes, may raise suspicion of this syndrome3–6. The aim of this article was to present a case of PHACE syndrome with absence of posterior fossa anomalies, and compare the fetal and neonatal findings on ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
