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.

94. Sturge Weber Syndrome: Jordan's Story When Jordan was almost six months old, he was diagnosed with Sturge Weber syndrome.Come read his story of hope http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Spa/6754/

Hello and welcome. My husband and I have a 3.5 year-old son, Jordan, who was diagnosed with Sturge Weber Syndrome at six months of age. I wanted to share his story because it is optimistic and one of hope. When Jordan was first diagnosed, we were so eager to hear about someone with a good story . On July 15, 1996, we received the best gift that God has ever given us: Jordan Ray. From a visual and developmental standpoint, all was perfect. About six months later, Jordan started having mild seizures. We believe he had three or four in a 24-hour period. Basically, his type of seizure has three signs: eyes deviate and pulsate to the left, his left arm jerks toward his body, and he just lays still. We went to our local emergency room, did a CT scan, and were told that he may have a birth defect known as Sturge Weber Syndrome. We spent the night and he was given a startup dosage of Phenobarbital. The next morning he had another more severe seizure, so we were taken by ambulance to Shands Hospital in Gainesville, Florida. The next 24 hours were so frightening. Jordan had an EEG, another CT scan, an MRI, and an MRE. We have never felt so helpless and dependent on strangers in our lives; we cried and prayed. The minute we arrived at Shands, my husband went to the medical library to research SWS. It seemed like a good idea, but it was not. Everything he found on SWS was terribly grim, mainly because most of the literature discussed the worst-case scenarios, which scared us all the more. That is the main reason why I wanted to share Jordan’s story.
