Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare disorder that occurs sporadically with a frequency of 1:50,000. It is a neurocutaneous syndrome, characterized by a facial capillary malformation (port-wine stain), abnormal blood vessels on the brain (leptomeningeal angioma), and the eyes leading to glaucoma. The patient may present with seizure, hemiparesis, stroke-like episodes, headache, and developmental delay. Here, we report a case of SWS in a 5-month-old baby presenting with the features of port-wine stain, focal seizure, and intracranial calcification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
