  • Title: Persistent stapedial artery in PHACE syndrome.
    Author: Quatre R, Manipoud P, Schmerber S.
    Journal: Eur Ann Otorhinolaryngol Head Neck Dis; 2019 Jun; 136(3):215-217. PubMed ID: 30876851.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: PHACE syndrome is characterized by posterior fossa malformations, haemangioma, arterial anomalies, coarctation of the aorta, and eye abnormalities. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a 6-year-old girl followed since birth for PHACE syndrome and left hemifacial haemangioma, who presented with left hearing loss. Computed tomography scan showed left persistent stapedial artery (PSA). DISCUSSION: Two types of arterial anomalies may be observed in PHACE syndrome: persistence of embryonic arteries and anomalies of cerebral arteries. PSA can be observed in the context of PHACE syndrome. Children with PHACE syndrome require regular audiometric follow-up to detect hearing loss and avoid its consequences on speech and language development.
