Typical Sturge-Weber syndrome of a 27 year-old female was reported. She had vascular nevus on the right side of her face, right maxillary hemangioma, epilepsy, intercranial calcification, paralysis on the left side of her extremitie 1 and glaucoma.<BR>Hemangioma on the right maxilla associated with this syndrome was treated successfully with carbon dioxide laser. The tumor was cut by focused beam and small blee ding vessels were sealed off by defocused beam. Bleeding was minimal. Postoperative healing was excellent, but left maxillary central incisor was damaged by carbon dioxide beam.<BR>We considered that vascular-rich lesions were effectively extirpated with carbon dioxidelaser. But the manipulation of the apparatus was a little difficult in molar region cases, therefore, without careful operation, surrounding tissue might be damaged.
