Marked female predilection in some syndromes associated with facial hemangiomas.

Analysis of the literature yielded 42 examples of the combination of sternal non-union and supraumbilical raphé without evidence of sex predilection. However, among an additional 31 cases in which the triad included facial hemangioma, there was almost exclusive female occurrence. Another condition involves extensive unilateral hemangioma of the face, absence of ipsilateral carotid and vertebral vessels, mental retardation, and Dandy-Walker malformation. Still another disorder has been proposed which includes facial hemangioma and dilatation of the carotid syphon. Both of these conditions exhibit marked female predilection. Examples of overlap of all three "disorders" cause the authors to question the independence of these disorders, hypothesizing instead that they represent a spectrum.
