Abstract

A case of Sturge-Weber syndrome, uncommon in its intraoral extent, is presented. The pathologic process involved both the soft and osseous tissues of both the maxilla and mandible of the affected side. The first known histopathologic description of alveolar bone involvement is presented. The patient was treated by means of extractions and periodontal flap surgery on both an outpatient and an inpatient basis, with good results and no untoward sequelae. Common clinical findings in Sturge-Weber syndrome and specific signs and symptoms manifested by this patient are discussed.

      In our case, the vascular surgeons did not need to perform an emergency embolization once it was decided to perform the dental extractions only after the endovascular procedure. Yukna et al.12 described the periodontal manifestations of SWS. They described the broad spectrum of the syndrome, from small periodontal hyperplasia to monstruous growth that limited mouth closing.

      When approaching this lesion surgically, different procedures have been adopted. In the times before lasers were available, overgrown gingiva was removed with electrosurgery, and postsurgical bleeding was controlled by pressure provided by splints.5,6 Additional measures for hemostasis were injection of anesthetic solutions with vasoconstrictors in the surgical sites and presurgical evaluation of hypertrophic mass vascularity by angiography.6-8,10
