PHACE syndrome associated with congenital oculomotor nerve palsy.
PHACE syndrome is a multisystem disorder presenting with facial hemangiomas, arterial anomalies, cardiac anomalies, posterior fossa malformations and eye abnormalities. The eye abnormalities include microphthalmos, cataracts, optic atrophy and iris hypoplasia. Amongst the neurological anomalies, posterior fossa malformations are common. Fourth nerve palsy has been reported with PHACE syndrome. We report a child presenting with a triad of congenital third nerve palsy, cerebellar hypoplasia and facial capillary hemangioma.
