Abstract
Introduction: Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is often associated with drug resistant epilepsy. The literature is unclear as to how often these patients can be weaned off of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) to become seizure-free. Case Description: We describe two patients with SWS. After initial treatment with various AEDs, breakthrough seizures still occurred. However, after periods with no seizure activity, they were weaned off of their medications. They have been off for 4 and 3 years and seizure-free for 13 and 12 years, respectively. No surgical procedure was necessary. Conclusion: We hypothesize that spontaneous involution or pathological disconnection of the vascular malformations might underly the patients’ recovery. The initial aggressive therapy, close follow-up, choice of AEDs, or natural evolution of the disease may have played a role in their recovery. Therefore, in patients with SWS and lesional structural epilepsy, medication freedom is possible and invasive management options including surgery should be discussed carefully.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
