Angiomatosis
Angiomatosis
(Encephalofacial; Sturge-Weber Disease): This is a developmental disorder
that involves a capillary-venous angioma of the face and leptomeninges
of the brain. The facial angioma is also called a nevus flammeus or "port
wine stain". Most lesions are unilateral. Although the angioma is present
at birth, the neurological manifestations of the disorder emerge over
the course of development. They may include focal seizures, contralateral
spastic hemiplegia, hemisensory loss and visual field defects. There may
be cortical atrophy and calcifications.
