A trabeculectomy with mitomycin (0.2mg/ml, 5 minutes) was performed in a 28-year-old man with glaucoma associated with Sturge-Weber syndrome. Two prophylactic posterior sclerotomies were made in an attempt to prevent sudden uveal effusion. The surgery was uncomplicated. On the first postoperative day, however, the anterior chamber became shallow with hypotony (<4mmHg). A 360 degrees choroidal detachment with serous retinal detachment encroaching upon macula was recognized. On the third postoperative day, evacuation of the suprachoroidal space was performed. However, the eye remained hypotonus and choroidal expansion with overlying retinal detachment occured again. The bleb decreased in size with time and the intraocular pressures(IOPs) rose gradually (10-14mmHg). The choroidal and retinal detachment resolved spontaneously with the increased IOP in 40 days. Twenty seven monthes after trabeculectomy, he has a small localized. bleb. The IOP is maintained in the high-teens(15-20mmHg) without any medication.

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.
