Hemangioma Associated With High Rates of Morbidity
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Hemangioma
In brief
We are conducting a study on the possible presence of PHACES in children with large facial hemangiomas and lumbosacral hemangiomas of infancy (hemangioma in the lower back) . With this study we hope to better understand the risk of this syndrome and to develop guidelines for its evaluation and management.
