Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome is a cutaneous vascular malformation affecting the development of blood vessels, soft tissues and bones [3]. This is a non-heritable disorder which is present at birth and usually involves lower limb but may involve more than one limb and a portion of the t...

Colour changes in Gradia Direct™ composite after immersion in tea, coffee, red wine, Coca-Cola, Colgate mouthwash, and distilled water were evaluated using principal component analysis (PCA) and the CIELAB colour coordinates. The reflection spectra of the composites were used as input data for the PCA. The output data (scores and loadings) provided information about the magnitude and origin of ...

Sturge–Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare congenital developmental, disorder manifesting with a facial port-wine birthmark, and a vascular malformation of the brain. It affects the skin in the distribution of the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve, abnormal capillary venous vessels in the leptomeninges of the brain and choroid, glaucoma, seizures, stroke, and intellectual disability. We repo...

As a kind of congenital vascular malformations, Port Wine Stain (PWS) is composed of ectatic venular capillary blood vessels buried within healthy dermis. In clinic, Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) in visible band (e.g. 585 or 595 nm) together with cryogen spray cooling has become the golden standard for treatment of PWS. However, due to the limited energy penetration depth of the PDL, deeply buried blo...

BACKGROUND Among the different approaches for improving the effectiveness in the treatment of Capillary Malformations type Port Wine Stain (CM type PWS) are the intense pulsed light sources. There are few clinical studies prove useful in the treatment of CM. Furthermore, no studies have been published yet demonstrating the histological effects of IPL in CM. OBJECTIVES To assess the histologic...

a 48 year old Indian male presented with a painless swelling of the right upper limb since birth associated with an overlying discolouration involving the right chest wall. at presentation, he complained of increased sweating and a tingling sensation over the involved limb. Clinical examination revealed a port wine stain over the right upper limb and hemithorax extending from the base of the ne...

The phakomatoses have been traditionally defined as a group of hereditary diseases with variable expressivity characterized by multisystem tumors with possible malignant transformation. The Sturge-Weber syndrome, Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, and the phakomatosis pigmentovascularis have the facial port-wine stain in common. Numerous pathophysiogenetic mechanisms have been suggested such as venous...
