Extractions: Archives Sturge-Weber Syndrome Introduction Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a congenital disorder characterized by a facial birthmark and neurological abnormalities. It is the result of a malfunction of the development of blood vessels (excessive growth) over a portion of the brain, usually the back (occipital). The cause of SWS is unknown, however, it has been determined that it is not the result of anything that the mother did or consumed during her pregnancy. SWS is not hereditary; it is considered to be the result of a spontaneous mutation. It is believed that one cell is affected some time during fetal development, and as that particular cell divides, the error is then duplicated in subsequent cells. If a cell is affected during the early stage of development, then the effects will be more severe, as more cells will carry the error. The incidence of SWS is unknown (and is probably underdiagnosed and underreported), however, the Sturge-Weber Foundation has just under 1,000 families involved with their organization. Features and Characteristics Facial birthmark Excessive blood vessel growth on the surface of the brain Seizures Hemiparesis (weakening or loss of use of one side of the body, opposite the birthmark)

Extractions: Sir, In Sturge-Weber syndrome, common ocular findings include: buphthalmos, choroidal angiomas, and episcleral telangiectasias [1]. Buphthalamos (occurs in 15% of cases) is caused by congenital glaucoma due to increased pressure, which may be related to impaired reabsorption of ocular fluid [1]. In almost one third of the cases either the sclera or the ocular choroid may show a dilated plexus of vessels [1]. These abnormal vessels are immature and have histologic features resembling both dilated capillaries as well as small viens and are often described as telangiectasias [1]. Slit-lamp examination help identify this vascular abnormality. We described the MRI findings in a case of choraidal haemangioma. Fig. 1, Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery, axial image (TR/TE/TI: 5000/ 100/ 1900) shows strongly hyperintense vitreous with a sliver of relatively low signal intensity ill-defined lesion in the choroid and retinal region. Fig. 2, A. Plain T1-weighted axial image (TR/TE: 500/ 25) shows a sliver of soft tissue signal intensity lesion in the choroid. Hyperintense vitreous is consistent with bleed. B. Post contrast image shows intense enhancement of the soft tissue component.

Extractions: What is Sturge-Weber Syndrome? Sturge-Weber syndrome is a neurological disorder indicated at birth by seizures accompanied by a large port-wine stain birthmark on the forehead and upper eyelid of one side of the face. The birthmark can vary in color from light pink to deep purple and is caused by an overabundance of capillaries around the trigeminal nerve just beneath the surface of the face. Symptoms of Sturge-Weber Syndrome? Some common symptoms of Sturge-Weber Syndrome are: White part of eye may be a reddish color. What Causes Sturge-Weber Syndrome? The exact cause of Sturge-Weber Syndrome is unknown. Types of Sturge-Weber Syndrome? There are 4 main types of Sturge-Weber Syndrome Type 1 Type 1 is the most common type. Characterized by facial and brain angiomas and may involve glaucoma.

Extractions: Incidence 1/50,000 live births (isolated cases not inherited) One of a range of neurocutaneous syndromes characterised by facial nevus ( port wine stain ) and meningial angiomas; seizures, hemiparesis and intracranial calcifications. Frequently also mental retardation. Presentation Facial nevus present at birth, always involves upper face and eyelid and tends to be unilateral. May also appear on lower face, trunk and orophayngeal mucosa. Important to understand that not all infants with facial nevi have Sturge-Weber disease. Ipsilateral eye commonly shows buphthalamos and glaucoma . There may be macrocephaly and choroidal hemangiomata. Focal tonic-clonic seizures typically appear in first year on the opposite side to the nevus. Response to anticonvulsants diminishes. In many cases seizures are associated with slowly progressive hemiparesis. Investigations Skull X-ray showing intracranial calcification in the occipito-parietal region. Typically, serpentine appearance.

Extractions: Moderator: Doctor Rick, tonight we would like to discuss four types of glaucoma: Iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome, Sturge-Weber syndrome, inflammatory glaucoma, and traumatic glaucoma. What do these types of glaucoma have in common? Dr. Rick Wilson: They are all secondary glaucomas, caused by a visible problem, as opposed to chronic open-angle glaucoma, the cause of which is unknown. In ICE, a spectrum of diseased corneal endothelium, the inside lining of the cornea, grows off the cornea, covers the drain or pulls the iris up over the drain, blocking it. The cornea is injured by this abnormal lining and often gets swollen at a lower-than-usual intraocular pressure. Moderator: What causes ICE?

At pathological examination, a paucity of normal superficial cortical veins is often found. One factor contributing to the development of cerebral damage is a lack of efficient outflow of venous blood, resulting in hypoperfusion and impaired neuronal metabolism (Maria et al. 1998b). Epilepsy is the most common, and often presenting, symptom of SWS seen with its onset in childhood. Other neurological symptoms include learning disability*, focal deficits, such as a chronic hemiparesis and hemianopia, and stroke-like episodes which consist of transient visual field defects or unilateral weakness (Garcia et al. 1981, Maria et al. 1998a). As epilepsy is the most common symptom of SWS, ictal epileptiform activity or postictal depression of activity is usually considered causative where there are transient neurological symptoms. However, these symptoms can also be caused by temporary ischaemia of the cortex underlying the vascular malformation. Therefore, the occurrence of episodes of a transient focal deficit pose a diagnostic challenge to the clinician. Adequate differentiation between epileptic and ischaemic origins of these events is of utmost importance, as this will have consequences for therapy.
