PURPOSE: We reported the CT and MR findings of 2 cases with Sturge-Weber syndrome which were not accompanied by facial nevi. MATERIALS AND METHODS: They were examined with both CT and MR in one case and with MR only in the other case. RESULTS: CT was better than MR in the demonstration of the characteristic cortical calcification. MR was superior to CT in the depiction of the abnormalities of the surrounding parenchyma and the intense enhancement of pial angiomatosis with Gd-DTPA enhancement. CONCLUSION: Gd-DTPA enhanced MR imaging could be useful in the demonstration of the presence and extent of pial angiomatosis in patients with suspected Sturge-Weber syndrome.

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.

Sturge Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare, congenital neurocutaneous syndrome. We rarely experienced neurocutaneous disorders in forensic practice but there are unexpected sudden deaths of patients with SWS due to epilepsy, intracranial hemorrhage, thromboses and secondary accident. We introduce a case of drowning death probably due to an epileptic attack of a person diagnosed as a patient of SWS by an autopsy. We review some of the neurocutaneous syndromes and a discussion of autopsy approach is presented.

Sturge-Weber syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly which includes facial port-wine stains with ipsilateral intracranial, hemangioma, ipsilateral choroidal hemangioma, and congenital glaucoma. The syndrome is thought to result from dysmorphogenesis of cephalic neuroectoderm. We report a case of Sturge-Weber syndrome combined with congenital ocular anomaly such as phthisis bulbi, corneal opacity, and iris anomaly.

Sturge-Weber syndrome was rare. But reported from 1860. We present a typical case of Sturge-Weber syndrome in a child and discussed the symptoms, signs, and pathological finding of various examinations in neurosurgical field such as plain x-ray, 4-vessel angiography, CT scan, EEG, IQ test, exophthamometry, opthalmometry, and fundoscopy. We find marked abnormality and asymmetry in that examination.
