“…In our patient, the radiologic features have many similarities with the classic presentation of SWS (7). However, the absence of gyriform calcifications, a typical radiologic feature of SWS when associated with the pial enhancement, can lead to doubts about the diagnosis.…”

In this article, we develop an approach to the headache patient based upon pattern of headache. Headache can be acute recurrent, acute, chronic progressive, and chronic nonprogressive. Within each pattern we go through the differential diagnosis, with a focus on secondary causes of headache. Although most patients presenting with headache will end up having migraine, we must be able to recognize the other causes when they present.

“…Phakomatoses or neurocutaneous syndromes are a heterogeneous group of congenital disorders with variable degree of penetration, primarily involving structures derived from the embryological neuroectoderm. All those syndromes involve the central nervous system and the peripheral nerves in common; the skin, eye and other systems may also be involved [ 2 ].…”

Phakomatoses are a group of more than 30 entities with an inheritance pattern that primarily affects the central nervous system, skin, viscera and connective tissue. The aim of this paper is to make an educational review of the most common radiological findings on phakomatoses through the iconography of the cases collected in our magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computer tomography (CT) units over the last ten years. Also, we describe and illustrate by these techniques the main features of the most common entities within the wide spectrum of diseases. As highly variable and age dependent, imaging techniques have an important role in the diagnosis and follow-up of these patients. Increased awareness for the need to implement and conduct screening programs could be considered as a solution to prevent late diagnosis and to treat the patients in early stages of disease.
