“…To the best of our knowledge, only three cases are available in English literature. Crinzi et al 12 presented a case of a 19-year-old man with SWS needing extraction of upper right maxillary molars. The bleeding following teeth extraction was controlled only with local cauterization, gelatin film, and primary wound closure.…”

“…Despite excessive bleeding due to teeth extraction was not clearly reported by the authors, planned gingivectomy was canceled because of potential hemorrhage. Although both cases 12,13 highlight the importance of local hemostatic agents in bleeding control during oral surgery, these measures may not be sufficient to prevent bleeding in extensive procedures.…”

Surgical management of odontogenic infections in Sturge–Weber Syndrome is challenging, due to the risk of massive bleeding and difficulty to achieve hemostasis. The authors describe the use of preoperative vascular embolization for oral surgery in a 29-year-old patient. The authors highlight the importance of hemostatic agents and primary wound closure and the role of vascular embolization as a potential tool for preventing hemorrhage in these cases.

Sturge-Weber syndrome is a congenital disorder characterized by vascular facial birthmarks and neurological abnormalities. Oral cavity involvement may occur, and the extent of the vascular abnormality may vary considerably. The present authors report the case of a 6-year-old girl with Sturge-Weber syndrome, focusing on the clinical and radiographic features. Her dental management involved a multidisciplinary team and included orthodontic treatment using removable appliances.
