Sturge-Weber syndrome: a case study.

Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare, congenital neurocutaneous condition (affecting both the skin and the brain) characterized by a facial port-wine stain located specifically on the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve, cerebral vascular abnormalities, and potential eye involvement. The incidence of SWS is approximately 1 in 20,000 to 50,000 infants, and therefore all clinical presentations are important to discuss. This article describes a case presentation of SWS and then discusses the etiology, pathophysiology, management, diagnosis, and prognosis of SWS.
