Abstract
2 cases of Sturge-Weber syndrome without facial nevus are reported. The patients presented different forms of epilepsy. The diagnosis was made by computed tomography (CT) which showed typical intracranial calcifications in both occipital regions. The problems concerning the atypical and incomplete forms of the syndrome are briefly discussed. The importance of CT as a diagnostic procedure for this disease is emphasized.Keywords
