A rudimentary form of the Morbus Sturge - Weber - Krabbe is shown in threepatients. For a proper diagnosis of this rare disease the most important examination isx-raying (standard craniograms and computed brain tomogipahy). The reason for thisis the fact that is can be diagnosed in patienls withouL cutaneous and ophtalmologicalsymptoms only by x-ray examination methods; on the other hand, in patientswith cutaneous and ophtalmological symptoms it can be diagnosed by the ophtalmologicaland dermatological examination (inspection). The decisive things in diagnosticare: the theoretical knowledge of the disease, the proper ophtalmological anddemnatological examination (inspection) as well as the x-ray (standard craniograms,computed brain tomography) examination.
