Sturge-Weber Syndrome� Angiomas involving the leptomeninges, and
skin of the face, typically ophthalmic and
maxillary distributions of Trigeminal N
Roach Classification:
Type 1: facial + leptomeningeal angiomatosis
may have glaucoma
Type 2: facial angioma alone (no CNS inv)
may have glaucoma
Type 3: isolated leptomeningeal angiomas;
usually no glaucoma

Neurofibromatosis – Type1
![Page 17: Deeper than Skin-deep: Neurocutaneous Syndromes · - nervous system - skin - eyeball / retina Generally slowly evolving through childhood Dysplastic lesions => Neoplastic tendency](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042120/5e9a55ac15347646816d3e00/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Management Dilemmas
� Plexiform Neurofibromas (PNs)
- whether, who and when to image?
- do we dig and reveal what is underneath?
- treatment options - QOL (surgery, pain Mx)
![Page 18: Deeper than Skin-deep: Neurocutaneous Syndromes · - nervous system - skin - eyeball / retina Generally slowly evolving through childhood Dysplastic lesions => Neoplastic tendency](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042120/5e9a55ac15347646816d3e00/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
� Size and location of PN tumors most
influence presentation of clinical symptoms.
� Complete tumor resection is possible in
patients with small and accessible PNs.
� @ RXH we image all plexiforms
![Page 19: Deeper than Skin-deep: Neurocutaneous Syndromes · - nervous system - skin - eyeball / retina Generally slowly evolving through childhood Dysplastic lesions => Neoplastic tendency](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042120/5e9a55ac15347646816d3e00/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Targets
Patients with PNs of the head and neck are more likely
to benefit from surgery if the indications were to:
(1) exclude malignancy in a rapidly enlarging mass;
(2) provide relief from neurogenic pain or motor
weakness;
(3) improve symptoms caused by airway
compression;
(4) enhance cosmesis in those with disfiguring

� Optic Gliomas
- to image or not ?
- does imaging affect management ?
- when to image?
- our practice.
� Transition
- when?
- whereto?
