30 cze 2023 · Neuroimaging in patient with Sturge–Weber syndrome. (A) Head CT showing calcification in the frontal lobe of the right hemisphere (asterisk). (B) Axial T1 MRI of the brain showing diffuse leptomeningeal enhancement over the right hemisphere (asterisk).
Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome, usually sporadic in nature, which is a result of occlusion/stasis of the persistent fetal vasculature resulting in cortical anoxia. 1 It is characterised by facial port-wine stain, leptomeningeal angiomatosis, congenital glaucoma, intractable epilepsy and progressive mental ...

Sturge-Weber syndrome brain involvement is marked by a leptomeningeal vascular malformation on contrast enhanced MRI images (Figure322A Dilated and 2B). deep draining vessels underlying the affected cortical region and enhancement of the choroid plexus on the involved side are also often present in older children and adults.
Our experience indicates that contrast-enhanced MR imaging is the method of choice in the diagnosis of Sturge-Weber syndrome. Unenhanced CT should be used only if MR findings are normal, to exclude the presence of intracranial calcifications.
