This study describes the first reported case in a preterm infant of an orbital lymphangioma with non‐contiguous cerebral arteriovenous malformation, manifesting with thrombocytopenia (Kasabach‐Merritt syndrome) and intracerebral hemorrhage. Conclusion : Neonates presenting with orbital lymphangiomas should undergo radiological investigations of the lesion and a detailed cerebral evaluation for associated arteriovenous developmental anomalies.
