2 cases of Sturge-Weber syndrome without facial nevus are reported. The patients presented different forms of epilepsy. The diagnosis was made by computed tomography (CT) which showed typical intracranial calcifications in both occipital regions. The problems concerning the atypical and incomplete forms of the syndrome are briefly discussed. The importance of CT as a diagnostic procedure for this disease is emphasized.

Congenital and acquired infections of the central nervous system (CNS) pose a significant threat to the developing brain, even in the face of appropriate medical treatment. During the past five years, a number of reports have described the ultrasound features of intracranial infection, including echogenic sulci, extra-axial fluid collections, ventricular enlargement, calcifications, abnormal parenchymal echogenicity, abscess formation, cystic degeneration of the brain parenchyma, intraventricular echogenicity, ventricular septations and irregularity and prominence of the ventricular walls. These features permit ultrasound diagnosis of intracranial infection and help to guide decisions affecting patient management.

Gyriform calcification after purulent meningitis

Abstract: A 2-month-old baby developed bilateral frontoparietal gyriform calcification after purulent meningitis. Biopsy revealed severe cerebral cortical degeneration with many calcified foci. Another feature of interest was reabsorption of calcification over a period of 4.5 months.
