“…Pierre-Kahn et al [9] found that in an average of 56% of cases, intraspinal lipomas are responsible for progressive neurological deficits that can lead to paraplegia and/or incontinence. Other spinal midline skin lesions that have been associated with spinal disorders include dimple, sinus, abnormal hair, neurofibroma, aplasia cutis, caudal appendix, port-wine stains, and congenital melanocytic naevus [10, 11]. Hence, any of these cutaneous manifestations is an indication for investigation, including a careful neurologic examination, X-ray of the spine and MRI.…”

Background: Publications concerning perineal infantile hemangiomas are scarce, and comprise no large series. Objective: Studying clinical features of hemangiomas of the perineal area, complications and associated malformations. Methods: Retrospective analysis of all hemangiomas localized in the perineal area, encountered at the Children’s Hospital in Bordeaux from 1994. Results: Of 49 perineal hemangiomas (34 girls, 15 boys), 5 patients had accompanying malformation, mainly lipomyelomeningocele with tethered cord. The superficial hemangiomas were more represented in males and presented sooner than the nodular counterpart. The average rate of ulceration was 73%, ulcerations developed earlier in the superficial forms than their nodular counterparts (2 vs. 4 months). Conclusion: Superficial perineal hemangiomas are more often complicated by ulceration, and are associated with developmental anomalies. As a counterpart for the PHACE syndrome in facial hemangioma, we propose the acronym SACRAL for perineal hemangiomas: Spinal dysraphism, Anogenital anomalies, Cutaneous anomalies, Renal and urologic anomalies, associated with Angioma of Lumbosacral localization.

“…Harris and Miller (9) contended that its location on the nape and occipital scalp is not considered a sign of dysraphism. In contrast, the lumbrosacral nevus flammeus has become a cutaneous marker for spinal dysraphism (10). In one prospective study following sacral nevus flammeus during the newborn period, the finding of diastematomyelia in a neonate with a sacral nevus flammeus served to strengthen its validity as a cutaneous marker of spinal dysraphism (11).…”

Vascular Stains and Hair Collar Sign Associated with Congenital Anomalies of the Scalp

We reported a series of three meningothelial hamartomas, one benign fibrous tumor, and one aplasia cutis congenita presenting with the hair collar sign and a coexistent vascular stain. Our series highlighted the importance of coexisting cutaneous markers found in the newborn period. The presence of a vascular stain and hair collar sign with or without a congenital scalp nodule should increase suspicion of an associated cranial dysraphism.
