Abstract
1) We have observed an almost typical case of Sturge-Weber's disease which was characterized by facial nervus on the right side, exophthalmus and generalized convulsive seizures, but it was not accompanied with retardation of mental development. Jaksonian seizures could not be provoked by useing medimide.
The presence of calcification in the cortex of the right frontal lobe, temporal lobes and occipital lobes on both sides was demonstrated in X-rays, and the sites are collaborated more precisely by tomography.
This finding perfectly corresponds to that of electroencephalogram and it is ascertained that the pathological changes such as angioma and calcification are not always limited to be only on the same side of facial nervus.
