Deep venous occlusion in the Sturge-Weber syndrome.

Of the venous abnormalities in the Sturge-Weber syndrome, deep venous occlusion is an uncommon finding. As far as can be determined it has been described in only two previously recorded cases. Another such case is presented to illustrate the usefulness of this finding, in conjunction with other venous anomalies, in the diagnosis of the Sturge-Weber syndrome, especially before two years of age when calcifications in the brain may not have appeared.
