CT and MR of angiomatous malformations of the choroid plexus in patients with Sturge-Weber disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Eight patients with Sturge-Weber disease were evaluated by CT (six patients), MR (one patient), or both (one patient). CT scans of five of seven patients showed enlargement and increased enhancement of the choroid plexus on the same side as the facial and intracranial lesions. MRI showed similar findings in both patients examined. This enlargement, seen in six of eight cases of Sturge-Weber disease, is compatible with the presence of angiomatous malformations of the choroid plexus. It appears to be a common finding in this disease.

Three patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome (5 months, 6 years, and 17 years old) were studied prospectively with MR imaging and CT of the brain. Both techniques demonstrated parenchymal volume loss, choroid plexus enlargement, calvarial hemiatrophy, and proptosis. In regions of parenchymal volume loss, MR alone demonstrated thickened cortex with decreased convolutions and abnormal white matter. ...

This report describes the intracranial CT and MR findings in two cases of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome. The findings are 1) markedly enhancing choroid plexuses, 2) severe cerebral atrophy, 3) cerebral calcifications, and 4) angiomatous leptomeningeal enhancement. The findings may resemble those seen in cases of bilateral Sturge-Weber syndrome. The two diseases should be distinguishable by t...
