The acronym "PHACES syndrome" stands for:
1. Posterior fossa malformations (most commonly of the Dandy-Walker spectrum)
2. Hemangiomas (frequently facial or in the airways)
3. Arterial anomalies (in particular of the central nervous system vasculature, hypoplasia of the carotid-vertebral trunk)
4. Cardiac defects, coarctation of the aorta and other aortic abnormalities
5. Eye abnormalities (congenital cataracts, glaucoma, choroidal hemangioma, microphthalmos, retinal vascular abnormality, persistent fetal retinal vessels)
6. Sternal malformations.
PHACES syndrome is found most frequently in females, though cases have been found in male
