T/F: encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis (Sturge-Weber anomaly) is an inherited condition
false, congenital abnormality
encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis (Sturge-Weber anomaly)
dermal capillary vascular malformation affecting superficial and deeper tissues in region of CN V
neurological deficits caused by encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis (Sturge-Weber anomaly)
- seizures
- intellectual disability
- hemiplegia
- migraines
- stroke-like episodes
- growth hormone deficiency
- central hypothyroidism
- ocular involvement
which division of CN V does port wine stain distribute to?
1st and sometimes 2nd or 3rd division
what does encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis (Sturge-Weber anomaly) involve?
deeper soft tissue and meninges of brain
which nerve is the primary sensory nerve of the head?
trigeminal n.
if port wine stain involves entire distribution of V1, what is the percent risk for neurologic and ocular involvement?
78%
radiographic feature of encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis (Sturge-Weber anomaly)?
“tramline” calcifications seen on skull film
what does the parallel calcifications on the radiographs for encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis (Sturge-Weber anomaly) represent?
represent calcified walls of abnormal blood vessels
treatment for encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis (Sturge-Weber anomaly) depends on what?
severity
treatment for port wine stain
pulsed dye laser
treatment for Sturge-Weber syndrome may involve what?
neurosurgery
lymphangioma
developmental harmartoma of lymphatic vessel differentiation, rather than true neoplasm
lymphangioma has a predilection for what location?
head and neck
what does lymphangioma look similar to clinically?
vesicular surface similar to “frogs eggs” pr tapioca pudding
what color is lymphangioma?
red-purple if trauma/hemorrhage

tongue
cystic hygroma
a very large lymphangioma
locations for cystic hygroma
- neck
- mediastinum
- axilla
- oral cavity
T/F: cystic hygroma can cause airway obstruction especially if secondarily infected
true
histopathologic features of lymphangioma
- lymphatic vessels showing mild dilation to large cystic spces containing fluid, ± red blood cells
- vessels infiltrate soft tissue
- thin endothelial lining
