Case Discussion
Sturge Weber syndrome is one form of phakamatosis, characterized by a pial hemangioma in the brain with an associated facial hemangioma.
The leptomeningeal hemangioma results in a vascular steal affecting the subjacent cortex and white matter producing localized ischemia, hence the associated parenchymal volume loss.
