Extractions: Sturge-Weber Syndrome NeuroLearn NeuroHelp Malformations Background ... Gross Pathology BACKGROUND AND CLINICAL INFORMATION Head Also known as encephalofacial angiomatosis or encephalotrigerminal angiomatosis. Characteristics: congenital angiomatosis which involves the skin of the face and cervical area, mucous membranes, meninges, and choroid of the retina. Usually unilateral.The skin lesions ("nevus flammeus" or port wine stain") usually involves the territories of the sensory branches of the5th nerve, especially the ophthalmic branch. The gross and microscopic pathology depends on the age of the individuals. Genetics: Sporadiac. No known hereditary factor but familial cases have been reported. Clinical: manifestations of cortical damage include convulsions, mental defect, and hemiparesis or hemianopia on the side contra- lateral to the lesion. Symptoms usually onset within the first year of life. Angioma in the choroid may lead to buphthalmos (in 70% of the cases) in infancy or to glaucoma in childhood. Treatment: surgical resection should be considered within the first 6 months of life if the patient has intractable seizure.

Bilaterally in the gray matter, most prominent in the cingulate gyrus, there was focal accumulation of garlandlike arrangements of blood vessels. Vessels exhibited activated, hypertrophic endothelial cells and thickening and progressive dystrophic mineralization of the basement membrane, with complete luminal obstruction of some affected vessels.

Extractions: About BAD BAD Constitution What is a Dermatologist Access to Care ... Frequently Asked Questions On the whole little interest was taken in promoting dermatological knowledge at this time, nevertheless a few outstanding individuals were to make lasting impressions. In Manchester, Louis Savatard, Brooke's pupil, was meticulously analysing all the various cutaneous malignancies. Louis Savatard (1874-1942) was a pioneer of radiotherapy but it must have been Brooke's interest in pathology that set him on his way; he was to become an acknowledged expert, spending endless hours at his microscope. From 1920 to 1940 he published many papers on superficial and pre-malignant skin changes and his interest in "mulespinner's cancer", led to his appointment to the special Home Office Committee. He virtually founded both the North of England and the Manchester Dermatological Societies and was President of the BAD in 1940. Savatard worked in isolation, but he made Manchester aware of the subject at what was surely a barren period. In London one or two others were now to make a name for themselves and for dermatology.

Extractions: Unlike standard radiologic techniques, such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET) is able to image biochemical reactions and physiological functions. This is accomplished by measuring concentrations of radioactive chemicals that are partially metabolized in the body region of interest.
