Background: Port-wine stains occur in 0.3–0.5% newborns, mainly on the face and neck. Pulsed dye laser is recognized as the gold standard treatment; nevertheless, it is associated with a low cure rate and a high recurrence rate. Aims: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of hemoporfin photodynamic therapy for pulsed dye laser-resistant port-wine stains in children. Methods: We studied 107 children who received hemoporfin photodynamic therapy for port-wine stains on the face and neck that were resistant to pulsed dye laser. After intravenous injection of 5 mg/kg hemoporfin, the local lesion was irradiated with 532 nm LED green light for 20 min with a power density of 80–100 mW/cm2. A total of 65 patients were given a second treatment after eight weeks. The efficacy and therapeutic responses were recorded at four days and eight weeks after each treatment. Results: The efficacy was positively correlated with the number of treatments received; two treatment sessions yielded significantly better results compared to a single treatment with a response rate of 96.9%, a significant response rate of 50.8% and a cure rate of 21.5%, respectively (P < 0.001). After two treatment sessions, the efficacy was negatively correlated with age (P = 0.04). The efficacy for port-wine stains located on the lateral part was better than that of the central face (P = 0.04). The efficacy for the pink type was better than that for the red and purple types (P = 0.03). No allergic or systematic adverse reactions were reported. Limitations: No objective measurement data were available. Conclusion: Hemoporfin photodynamic therapy is effective and safe for pulsed dye laser-resistant facial port-wine stains in children.

Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) is one of the encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis and one of the important segmental vascular neurocutaneous disorders .The occurrence is not very uncommon and the prevalence is 1:20000 to 1:50000.(1) SWS occurs due to the presence of residual embryonic vessels . The various signs and symptoms include capillary malformation in the face a port wine birthmark and similar malformation in the brain involving leptomeniges as well as blood vessels of the eye causing glaucoma. The patient presents with seizures , hemiparesis and stroke like symptoms, headaches and developmental delay.(2) The imaging nding in SWS children is the calcication in the parietal and occipital area of the brain. The EEG ndings in SWS are the attenuation and the excess of slow activities.We are presenting here a rare case of , a fourteen year old male child who presented to our emergency department with status epilepticus. The aim of presenting this case is to share the classical presentation and the challenges involved in the management

ABSTRACT Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) or encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis is a rare neurocutaneous disorder characterized with vascular malformations and capillary venous angiomas involving the face, choroid of the eye and leptomeninges with port wine stain, seizures activity and mental retardation. In this paper we report a case of a patient affected by Sturge-Weber syndrome presenting with tongue hemangioma and emphasize the importance of an accurate diagnosis and management in the clinical practice.

AIM: To assess the efficacy in the treatment of port wine stain in the head and neck by using (Vbeam perfecta®). METHODS: Forty-two port wine stain patients were recruited at the National Hospital of Dermatology and Venereology, Hanoi, Vietnam. RESULTS: We reported an excellent response (43.8%) (76%-100% lightening), a good response (18.8%) (51%-75% lightening), fair improvement (18.8%) (26%-50% lightening), and no response (18.8%) (0%-25% lightening). CONCLUSION: In conclusion, pulsed dye laser is an excellent technique to remove port wine stains on the face and neck.

Developmental Condition

The Sturge-Weber syndrome or encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis is a rare neurological and congenital disorder with a frequency of 1 in 50,000 births. This syndrome is a nonhereditary developmental condition and is characterized by the presence of congenital capillary malformation and a hamartomatous vascular proliferation involving the face (port-wine stain or facial birthmark), sometimes skull and the tissues of brain, jaws, oral soft and hard tissues and rarely other body organs. Seizures, mental retardation, and cortical calcification (tram-tracks) and congenital glaucoma may be seen in this syndrome. We report here a 40-year-old female with Sturge-Weber syndrome associated with bilateral cutaneous capillary malformation on her face, neck, hands and feet and also gingival enlargement.

AbstractSturge–Weber syndrome is a rare congenital disease, also called encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis, caused by persistence of transitory primordial arteriovenous connections of the fetal intracranial vasculature. It is characterized by vascular malformations with capillary venous angiomas that involve the face, choroid of the eye, and leptomeninges. The main clinical features of this syndrome are port-wine stains, glaucoma, convulsions, and angiomas of the airway. Anesthesia management is directed toward anticipating a difficult airway, avoiding trauma to the hemangioma during airway manipulation, preventing the rise in the intracranial and intraocular pressures, anticipating and managing massive blood loss and the complications associated with massive blood transfusion, and avoiding factors that might trigger a seizure such as hypoxia, hypercarbia, hypotension, hypoglycemia, and hyperthermia.

<p>Sturge weber syndrome is a rare sporadic condition of mesodermal phacomatosis, also called encephalotrigeminal angio­matosis (synonyms : fourth phacomatosis or mother spot), is a neurocutaneous disorder with angiomas that involve the leptomeninges (leptomeningeal angiomas) and the skin of the face (purple colored flat cutaneous haemangiomas ), typically in the ophthalmic (V1) and maxillary (V2) distributions of the trigeminal nerve. The hallmark of sturge weber syndrome is a facial cutaneous venous dilation, also referred to as a nevus flammeus or port wine stain (PWS). Because of the rarity, we report here a one &amp; half year old male child who presented with features of the Sturge Weber Syndrome on both side of face.</p>
