PHACE syndrome is an acronym introduced in 1996 by Frieden et al. on the association of multiple anomalies in neurocutaneas including malformations of the posterior fossa (P), hemangioma (H), arterial anomalies (A), heart (C ), eye (E), and sometimes sternal (S). A case of an infant of 7 months who enters the emergency department for respiratory distress, and the presence of anatomical abnormalities, making possible the diagnosis of such syndrome which will be described later. It is important to know this pathology due to the low frequency 0.1/10000 and this way to be able to orientate the clinical ones in future explorations to identify the clinical characteristics of this syndrome
