He also developed elevated intraocular pressures on the same side of the face lesion. PMH: As stated above. FH: No previous family history of ocular diseases. POH: As stated above. EXAM Best corrected visual acuities: 20/50 OD and 20/30 OS with Line Pictures. Pupils: normal, no RAPD EOM: normal IOP: 16 mmHg OD, 12 mmHg OS SLE: Increased vacularity of the conjunctivae and sclera OD. DFE: see below OD Choroidal hemangioma with tomato catsup appearance of the fundus obscuring choroidal details. OS Normal appearing fundus . Face Port-wine stain (facial hemangioma), a.k.a. nevus flammeus, of the right side of the face respecting the mid-line and in the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. Our patient underwent trabeculotomy surgery as a baby to reduce the intraocular pressures OD. These photos are of another patient who underwent the same procedure.

Subscribe now >> Sturge-Weber Syndrome Sturge-Weber syndrome (also called encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis) is a congenital disorder characterized by a birthmark and neurological abnormalities. Symptoms of the disorder, which vary widely among patients, may include eye and internal organ irregularities. The most apparent symptom is a facial birthmark or port wine stain which is present at birth and usually involves at least one upper eyelid and the forehead. The stain, varying from light pink to deep purple, is caused by an overabundance of capillaries just beneath the surface of the affected skin. Neurological symptoms include excessive blood vessel growth on the surface of the brain (angiomas). These angiomas are typically located on the back or occipital region of the brain and cause abnormal conditions for brain function. Seizures are a common early occurrence, often starting by one year of age, and may worsen with age. The convulsions usually appear on the opposite side of the body from the port wine stain and vary in severity. A weakening or loss of use of the side of the body opposite the port wine stain (hemiparesis) may also develop. Developmental delay of motor and cognitive skills may occur. Glaucoma (increased pressure within the eye) may be present at birth or develop later. Buphthalmos (enlargement of the coatings of the eye) may also occur in the eye that is affected by the port wine stain. Sturge-Weber syndrome rarely affects other body organs.

What is Sturge-Weber syndrome? Sturge-Weber syndrome is a rare disease with no recognized hereditary component. It consists of a red discoloration (portwine stain) involving the skin on the face. Usually the eyelids are also involved. The mucous membranes (lining of the mouth and nose) and the meninges (covering of the brain) can also be affected. The cause of Sturge-Weber is unknown and there are no known preventive measures. Return to Top What are the symptoms? Since brain involvement is variable, a wide spectrum of neurologic, developmental, and visual problems can exist. These may include seizures, visual problems, weakness or paralysis on one side, and/or learning disabilities ranging from mild to severe. Return to Top How is this syndrome diagnosed?

Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading." Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with Sturge-Weber syndrome is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete.

Sturge-Weber Syndrome Topic Tree Definition: A congenital syndrome characterized by a port-wine nevus covering portions of the face and cranium (in the distribution of the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE) and angiomas of the meninges and choroid. Clinical manifestations include the onset of focal SEIZURES, progressive hemiparesis, GLAUCOMA, hemianopsia, and cognitive deficits in the first decade of life. By age two years, skull radiographs reveal "tramline calcifications" of the margins of the occipital and parietal lobes. Pathologically cortical neurons are replaced by glial tissue that undergoes calcification.

KidsHealth Parents Caring for a Seriously or Chronically Ill Child Tuberous Sclerosis Tuberous sclerosis is a disorder that causes benign growths, called "tubers," to form on several different organs within the body, including the brain, eyes, kidneys, heart, skin, and lungs. It occurs in approximately one in 6,000 births. There is a 50% chance that a parent with TS will have a child with the disease. The condition is often first recognized in children who experience epileptic seizures or who exhibit developmental delays. The severity of TS varies from mild skin abnormalities to very severe cases that cause mental retardation or kidney failure Treatment usually includes medication to prevent seizures, treatments to address skin problems, surgery to remove tumors (to reduce the risk of cancer as well as for cosmetic reasons), and the management of high blood pressure caused by kidney disease. As with all of the neurocutaneous syndromes, a child's prognosis depends on the severity of the case. Sturge-Weber Syndrome Sturge-Weber syndrome is a rare condition that affects the skin and the brain. It is caused by a spontaneous genetic mutation and is not passed down by parents who carry the disease. How often it occurs in babies is not known, and because it is not frequently diagnosed, it is difficult to estimate how many people currently have the disease.

Vascular Malformations : Sturge-Weber Syndrome E-mail this page Print this page Sturge-Weber Syndrome The first most obvious sign of Sturge-Weber syndrome is a baby born with a facial birthmark. It usually will cover at least one eyelid and the forehead. The stain will vary in color and size. In rare cases, there is no port wine stain. Neurological problems are caused by excessive blood vessel growth on the surface of the brain. Seizures are the most common early problem, often starting by 1 year of age. Developmental delay also may occur in varying degrees. Other problems may affect: Eyes - Increased pressure within the eye (glaucoma) can also be present at birth or develop later. This affects about 30 percent of patients with Sturge-Weber. It most often affects the eye with the port wine stain. Organs - Other body organs can be affected, although this is rare.

Source: MORINformation Winter 96/97 Issue Medical News, page 3 Sturge-Weber Syndrome Research Project Alex V. Levin, MD, FRCSC Narindra Armogan, MD The Hospital for Sick Children University of Toronto Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a congenital disorder characterized by a red facial birthmark (port wine mark), brain abnormalities and/or glaucoma. Not all patients get each feature. Historically, Sturge-Weber syndrome glaucoma occurs during one or more of three distinct stages: infancy, childhood and early adulthood. In the infantile form, the primary problem is an abnormal drainage angle (trabecular meshwork), as in other forms of common infantile glaucoma. The childhood and early adult forms seem to develop because of an increased pressure in abnormal veins (episcleral veins) on the surface of the eye, unique to SWS, which make it hard for the eye fluid to drain. Identifying a key role for episcleral venous pressure in Sturge-Weber glaucoma has been attributed to the work of Dr. Phelps in 1978. However, no one has ever challenged or tested his theory.
