A new 3C syndrome: cerebellar hypoplasia, cavernous haemangioma and coarctation of the aorta.
Two children were identified with facial haemangioma, cerebellar hypoplasia and co-arctation of the aorta; the second child presented to the neurology department because of facial haemangioma. The importance of awareness of the association of these three conditions is essential to ensure proper management and survival of this group of patients. The possible pathophysiology of these associated conditions is discussed.
