(a) Double inversion recovery (DIR) image and (b) fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) image of a patient with Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS). The DIR image shows leptomeningeal and dural enhancement of the right posterior part of the brain. The FLAIR image shows leptomeningeal enhancement but dural enhancement is only minimal.
