Sturge-Weber Syndrome Without Port-Wine Nevus
Keyword(s):
In their article on birthmarks in the neonate (Pediatrics 58:218, August 1976), Jacobs and Walton state that the Sturge-Weber syndrome only occurs when the port-wine stains involve the distribution of the first branch of the trigeminal nerve. This point would appear to be misleading, as there is substantial evidence that the Sturge-Weber syndrome can occur in the absence of a facial nevus. Lund1 reported on seven patients without a facial nevus, Peterman et al.2 noted five, Tonnis and Friedmann3 reported four, and Poser and Traveras4 reported on an additional two cases.
