PURPOSE: Accelerated myelination in the affected hemisphere has been demonstrated previously in patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS). This prospective study investigated myelin-related changes in patients with unilateral SWS using synthetic quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI).
METHODS: Fourteen children with unilateral SWS were categorized according to age, i.e., ≤ 2 years (group A, n = 5, mean age 1.1 years, 3 males) and > 2 years (group B, n = 9, mean age 3.9 years, 4 males). All children underwent two-dimensional synthetic qMRI. The myelin volume in the cerebral hemisphere and white matter (WM) myelin volume fraction (MVF), proton density (PD), R1 and R2 relaxation rates ipsilateral to the leptomeningeal enhancement, and/or a port-wine birthmark were compared with the corresponding values in the contralateral hemisphere.
RESULTS: In group A, 3 patients had a higher myelin volume in the ipsilateral hemisphere and a higher MVF, R1, and R2 and lower PD in the ipsilateral WM than on the contralateral side; the findings were the opposite in the remaining two patients. All patients in group B had a significantly lower myelin volume in the ipsilateral hemisphere (P < 0.05) and a lower MVF and R1 and higher PD in the ipsilateral WM than on the contralateral side (P < 0.0125).
CONCLUSION: Higher estimated myelin was observed on the ipsilateral side in some patients aged ≤ 2 years and lower myelin on the ipsilateral side in all older patients. Synthetic qMRI might be useful for showing myelin-related abnormalities in SWS.
