Abstract:
This is a case report of a sixteen-year-old boy who has been suffering from throbbing headache since thirteen years of age. Neuroimaging investigations including brain CT and MRI demonstrated the characteristic features of Sturge-Weber syndrome: intracranial calcification, enlarged choroid plexus. And gyral enhancement. However, there was no facial nevus or focal neurological abnorrnality.
