Summary

Gyriform calcifications on the plain skull film and pneumoencephalographic findings indistinguishable from Sturge-Weber disease are reported in a child following an acute encephalitis. The patient has none of the cutaneous manifestations of encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis.

Résumé

Les calcifications gyriformes spontanément visible sur les radiographies du crâne et les données pneumo-encéphalographiques tout à fait superposables à celles d'une maladie de Sturge-Weber sont décrites chez un enfant dans les suites d'une encéphalite. Le patient ne présentait aucune des manifestations cutanées d'angiomatose encéphalo-trigéminée.

Zusammenfassung

Nach einer akuten Encephalitis traten bei einem Kind gyriforme Verkalkungen auf, die sich auf den Nativ-Aufnahmen und bei der Encephalographie nachweisen ließen. Anzeichen eines Sturge-Weber-Syndroms lagen nicht vor.
