Feed-and-Swaddle FAST MRI for Early Detection of Sturge-Weber Syndrome in Infants

Feed-and-swaddle FAST brain MRI detects intracranial involvement without sedation in infants with suspected Sturge-Weber syndrome, potentially closing a critical gap before seizure onset.

• The FAST protocol is a rapid, disease-targeted MRI approach with markedly reduced acquisition times and improved patient tolerance compared with conventional MRI.
• Institutional experience suggests early pre-symptomatic screening can facilitate early neurology referral, parental education, aspirin initiation, and surgical planning.
