Department of Neurosciences Medical University of South Carolina Charleston, South Carolina Greenwood Genetic Center Greenwood, South Carolina, kholden{at}ggc.org Sturge-Weber syndrome is characterized by a facial port-wine nevus, leptomeningeal angiomatosis, and glaucoma; it is commonly complicated by epilepsy and hemiparesis. We present a patient with a head and neck port-wine nevus, glaucoma, abnormalities of the intracranial deep veins, and untreated communicating hydrocephalus. The patient lacks any radiologic or clinical evidence of cerebral leptomeningeal angiomatosis. Considering that intracranial venous anomalies also are likely compatible with the embryologic explanation of Sturge-Weber syndrome, this child can serve as an unusual example of Sturge-Weber syndrome type II.
