Abstract
A seven and a half month old female baby with facial mole, developmental delay and history of fits was referred for CT scan of the brain with clinical suspicion of Sturge weber syndrome. CT scan showed right cerebral hemispheric atrophy with cortical calcifications. Contrast enhanced MRI of the brain showed classical leptomeningeal enhancement in the right cerebral hemisphere along with prominence of the choroid plexus of the right lateral ventricle thus confirming the diagnosis of Sturge weber syndrome. In patients with Sturge weber syndrome, calcifications are rarely demonstrable before 2 years of age. The presence of early calcification signifies considerable parenchymal atrophy and carries poor prognosis in terms of developmental mile stones. Our patient presented with early calcifications and developmental delay. The purpose of presenting this case is to emphasize the importance of early calcification and its significance in the development of the infant.
