    Peters anomaly in PHACE syndrome
    (Elsevier, 2017-08) Shabeeb, Nadine M.; Plager, David A.; Haggstrom, Anita N.; Department of Dermatology, School of Medicine
    PHACE syndrome is a rare neurocutaneous disorder, with a complex pathogenesis. It presents with a large facial hemangioma associated with anomalies of the posterior fossa of the brain, arterial anomalies, cardiac anomalies, coarctation of the aorta, and eye anomalies. Ocular abnormalities are rare. We report the first published case of an infant with PHACE syndrome and Peters anomaly.

    Segmental infantile hemangioma and concomitant hypertension in three African American neonates
    (Wiley, 2020-05) Kullberg, Sara A.; Rheault, Michelle N.; Haggstrom, Anita; Maguiness, Sheilagh M.; Dermatology, School of Medicine
    We present three African American infants with segmental, ulcerated infantile hemangiomas and concomitant, persistent hypertension. When treated with beta-blocker therapy, the hemangiomas decreased in size and the ulcerations resolved, but there was no impact on the elevated blood pressure in one of our patients. We failed to identify any associations between infantile hemangioma and hypertension in the literature.
