Abstract

Recently, we experienced a case of Sturge-Weber Syndrome in a 9 month old female. The diagnosis was established by typical clinical features of Sturge-Weber Syndrome in eluding facial portwine nevus, convulsion, left hemiparesis, glaucoma and typical calcification & brain atrophy as seen on on the brain CAT. Plain radiolographys of the skull revealed no evidence of calcification, while the brain CAT successfully detected calcific density. A brief review of related literatures was made.
