Abstract

We present a 64 year old female patient with blurred vision, impaired visual field and episodes of migraine aura like optical illusions. MRI of the brain showed bi-occipital calcification, similar to Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS). Histopathological analysis confirmed cortical vascular malformation with vast calcifications. Since the patient was treated with methotrexate for years but with limited adherence to folic acid intake, we diagnosed an acquired Sturge Weber syndrome due to methotrexate induced folic acid deficiency
