The authors present two cases of the Sturge-Weber syndrome. The following findings in the first case justify the diagnosis: facial haemangioma, convulsive disorder and radiographic findings typical of the syndrome. This patient also exhibited a paranoid psychosis. In the second case dermal haemangioma could not be discovered. Typical calcification shadows were observed radiographically (Figures 1-3), and in addition the patient exhibited epilepsy and a slight mental retardation.
