Sturge Weber Syndrome

# Sturge Weber syndrome is characterized by all EXCEPT:
a) Exophytic oral hemangioma
b) Facial hematoma
c) Tramline calcification of dura on lateral cephalogram
d) Facial hemangioma

The correct answer is B. Facial hematoma.


Though the skin and oral lesions of hemangioma are most deforming and disfiguring, the CNS involvement often results in serious problems of epilepsy, hemiplegia, mental retardation and retinal changes. Sturge-weber syndrome is probably the most common of these malformations. It is characterized by angiomatosis of face, laptomeningeal angiomas, contralateral hemiplegia, massive gingival growths and asymmetric jaw growth. The patients are treated for many years with phenytoin.

Standard airway for Ludwig's Angina

# Standard Airway for Ludwig's Angina is: a) Tracheotomy
b) Cricothyrotomy
c) Nasal intubation
d) Oral intubation

The correct answer is B. Cricothyrotomy.

In Ludwig's angina, cricothyrotomy is always preferred over option A, i.e., Tracheotomy. Tracheotomy is avoided because of the following reasons.
• Identification of landmarks is difficult due to associated massive edema and tissue distortion.
• Sometimes, tracheostomy may lead to spread of infection to deeper tissues.
• May result in Tracheal stenosis in 25 -50% of cases.
• Chances of getting pneumonia will always be there.
