Abstract

We present a 6-month-old girl with the unusual combination of microphthalmos, facial capillary hemangioma and Dandy-Walker malformation. This is the fourth case with such an association reported in the literature. On the basis of the experience with our patient and with those previously reported, we stress the importance of performing brain-imaging studies on all infants with large facial hemangiomas, or if unusual ophthalmic findings are present.
