Abstract

Sturge Weber syndrome is a type of neurocutaneous disorder also known as meningofacial angiomatosis. It is generally seen in paediatric age group and more  commonly effects the  males which present with delayed milestones, seizure disorder, loss of vision and other neurological deficits. Clinical suspicion of Sturge weber syndrome should be made on the  presence of port wine stain(facial nevus) in a young children. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) plays a key role in detecting the various spectrum of cortical and vascular defects associated with the syndrome. Clinicians can come to a final diagnosis of Sturge weber syndrome, when the clinical history is supplemented with MRI findings. We in our case report will be discussing the various spectrum of MR findings in this rare neurocutaneous syndrome.
