A 15 Year old female patient with Sturge Weber Syndrome is presented. This neurocutaneous syndrome consists of angiomatosis of the skin and mucosa as well as the leptomeninges. This case report describes the classic presentation of the syndrome, emphasizing the oral manifestations. The radiographic and CT scan show the typical "tram line" intracranial calcifications. This case report presents a typical case of Sturge Weber Syndrome. It gives the radiological and CT scan findings and the important role played by them in the diagnosis of this syndrome. Emphasis is given to the differentiation of diphenylhydantoin induced gingival hyperplasia from the angiomatous enlargement of the gingiva before any treatment is planned. |
