MR Findings of Sturge-Weber Syndrome Without Facial Nevus: Two Cases Report
Abstract
- PURPOSE
We reported the CT and MR findings of 2 cases with Sturge-Weber syndrome which were not accompanied by facial nevi.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
They were examined with both CT and MR in one case and with MR only in the other case.
RESULTS
CT was better than MR in the demonstration of the characteristic cortical calcification. MR was superior to CT in the depiction of the abnormalities of the surrounding parenchyma and the intense enhancement of pial angiomatosis with Gd-DTPA enhancement.
CONCLUSION
Gd-DTPA enhanced MR imaging could be useful in the demonstration of the presence and extent of pial angiomatosis in patients with suspected Sturge-Weber syndrome.
