KidsHealth Parents Caring for a Seriously or Chronically Ill Child Tuberous Sclerosis Tuberous sclerosis is a disorder that causes benign growths, called "tubers," to form on several different organs within the body, including the brain, eyes, kidneys, heart, skin, and lungs. It occurs in approximately one in 6,000 births. There is a 50% chance that a parent with TS will have a child with the disease. The condition is often first recognized in children who experience epileptic seizures or who exhibit developmental delays. The severity of TS varies from mild skin abnormalities to very severe cases that cause mental retardation or kidney failure Treatment usually includes medication to prevent seizures, treatments to address skin problems, surgery to remove tumors (to reduce the risk of cancer as well as for cosmetic reasons), and the management of high blood pressure caused by kidney disease. As with all of the neurocutaneous syndromes, a child's prognosis depends on the severity of the case. Sturge-Weber Syndrome Sturge-Weber syndrome is a rare condition that affects the skin and the brain. It is caused by a spontaneous genetic mutation and is not passed down by parents who carry the disease. How often it occurs in babies is not known, and because it is not frequently diagnosed, it is difficult to estimate how many people currently have the disease.

It usually will cover at least one eyelid and the forehead. The stain will vary in color and size. In rare cases, there is no port wine stain. Neurological problems are caused by excessive blood vessel growth on the surface of the brain. Seizures are the most common early problem, often starting by 1 year of age. Developmental delay also may occur in varying degrees. Other problems may affect: Eyes - Increased pressure within the eye (glaucoma) can also be present at birth or develop later. This affects about 30 percent of patients with Sturge-Weber. It most often affects the eye with the port wine stain. Organs - Other body organs can be affected, although this is rare.

Sturge Weber Syndrome A congenital facial birthmark and neurological abnormalities characterize this condition. Other symptoms associated can include eye and internal organ irregularities. Each case of Sturge-Weber syndrome is unique and exhibits findings to varying degrees. The most apparent indication of Sturge-Weber syndrome is a facial birthmark or "port wine stain" present at birth and typically involving at least one upper eyelid and the forehead. Neurological concerns relate to the development of excessive blood vessel growth on the surface of the brain (angiomas). Seizure activity is the most common early problem, often starting by one year of age. The convulsions usually appear on the opposite side of the body from the port wine stain and vary in severity. A weakening or loss of the use of one side of the body may develop opposite to the port wine stain. Developmental delay of motor and cognitive skills may also occur to varying degrees.

Sturge-Weber is a condition which consists of a birth mark always involving the forehead and a similar blood vessel abnormality on the brain surface (often called an angioma). Sometimes the birth mark may be on one side only, sometimes it is on both sides. Occasionally it may also be on the trunk or limbs, again on one or both sides. By some process which probably involves depriving the underlying brain of some of its blood supply, the underlying brain shrinks, and specks of calcium appear in it. This process probably also causes the brain angioma to grow over the surface of the brain usually from the back towards the front. Who gets it? It is probably not hereditary. If a first child has it, the chances of further children having it are less than one in a hundred. There are cases on record of each in a pair of identical twins having it, and also of only one in a pair having it. There is also one record of both the father and the son having it but this is so rare that it is probably a coincidence. It seems that the hitch in blood vessel development is an accident of nature. Nothing that happens or does not happen in pregnancy seems to cause it. What are the symptoms?

Chat Highlights December 12, 2001 Norma Devine, Editor On Wednesday, December 12, 2001, Dr. Rick Wilson Moderator: Doctor Rick, tonight we would like to discuss four types of glaucoma: Iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome, Sturge-Weber syndrome, inflammatory glaucoma, and traumatic glaucoma. What do these types of glaucoma have in common? Dr. Rick Wilson: They are all secondary glaucomas, caused by a visible problem, as opposed to chronic open-angle glaucoma, the cause of which is unknown. In ICE, a spectrum of diseased corneal endothelium, the inside lining of the cornea, grows off the cornea, covers the drain or pulls the iris up over the drain, blocking it. The cornea is injured by this abnormal lining and often gets swollen at a lower-than-usual intraocular pressure. Moderator: What causes ICE? Dr. Rick Wilson: ICE may result from a herpes simplex infection of the cornea in utero (before birth). P: At what age does ICE commonly occur? Is it unilateral? Dr. Rick Wilson:

You've spent minutes on Ophthalmic Hyperguide Sturge-Weber Syndrome and the Eye Chandru Krishnan, MD Mandar Joshi, MD Introduction Epidemiology Glaucoma Treatment ... References Introduction Sturge-Weber syndrome is one of several syndromes classified under the heading of phakomatosis because it involves pathology in the skin, eye, and brain. The first reported description of Sturge-Weber syndrome associated with eye involvement has been attributed to Schirmer in 1860. He reported a patient with facial nevus flammeus and ipsilateral buphthalmos. Sturge later reported on a patient who had these findings, along with neurologic findings, and proposed that there were vascular abnormalities in the brain and eye along with the skin. Weber verified neurologic involvement radiologically. Inheritance of disease is sporadic and eye involvement is almost exclusively unilateral. It is believed that men and women are equally affected. Histopathology is significant for hamartomatous malformation of cephalic blood vessels causing hemangiomas of the skin, meninges, and eye. A layer of endothelium lines these dilated blood vessels. Typically, the lesions remain constant throughout life. Calcification of brain tissues adjacent to hemangiomas causes seizures, mental retardation, hemiparesis, and hemianopia. The facial lesion (port-wine stain) occurs along a distribution similar to the branches of the trigeminal nerve. However, the hemangioma often traverses the midline ( Slide 1 Slide 1 Ocular manifestations include choroidal, episcleral, and conjunctival hemangiomas, glaucoma, and heterochromia of the iris

UNM COC : Your Healthcare Primer for Long Term Care Sturge-Weber Syndrome Definition Sturge-Weber Syndrome is a neurocutaneous (brain-skin) disorder characterized by three features: Port wine stain (cutaneous facial angioma) Seizures and other neurologic complications associated with angioma of the leptomeningies Glaucoma (increased pressure within the eyeball.) Introduction Sturge-Weber Syndrome (also called encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis) is an uncommon condition. It occurs in 1:50,000 to 1:60,000 births. The cause is unknown but some scientists think it is the result of abnormal development of the primordial vascular bed (blood supply) of the brain very early in the formation of the embryo. Most cases are sporadic but occasionally cases within families are reported. Males and females seem to be equally affected. It has been reported in individuals of White, Hispanic, African and Asian heritage. The facial port wine stain is present at birth in 98% of individuals with Sturge Weber Syndrome. In general the port wine stain tends to be found in the area of the face enervated by the fifth cranial nerve (trigeminal nerve.) It tends to be unilateral (on one side or the other) but can be bilateral (on both sides.) Port wine stain may also be found on the trunk or extremities of some individuals with Sturge Weber Syndrome. Not all individuals with port wine stain have Sturge Weber.
