Treatment for Sturge-Weber syndrome is symptomatic. Laser treatment may be used to lighten or remove the birthmark. Anticonvulsant medications may be used to control seizures. Surgery may be performed on more serious cases of glaucoma. Physical therapy should be considered for infants and children with muscle weakness. Educational therapy is often prescribed for those with mental retardation or developmental delays. Doctors recommend yearly monitoring for glaucoma. What is the prognosis?

British Epilepsy Association is a Registered Charity (Registered in England No. 234343). Sturge-Weber Syndrome The Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) is a rare disease in which the presence of a birth mark (port wine stain), usually on one side of the face, is associated with an abnormality of the brain caused by abnormal blood vessels on the surface of the brain. This abnormality usually results in seizures or other problems. Sturge-Weber Syndrome is usually a spasmodic occurrence - in other words it does not run in families. Very rarely one or more family members may be affected. Symptoms The first abnormality noted in Sturge-Weber Syndrome is the birth mark which is present at birth. This is flat and deep red. It is due to abnormalities of the very small blood vessels in the skin. The most common site for the birth mark is the forehead on one side of the face, often coming down on to the cheek, nose or upper lip. Sometimes both sides of the face are involved and on occasions similar birth marks are present on other parts of the body. Seizures develop in nearly all patients with Sturge-Weber Syndrome. They may start at birth or later in the first year of life. They are usually

yes no Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a congenital disorder involving the brain, skin and eyes. There is a facial birth mark (port wine stain), a layer of blood vessels over the covering of the brain (venous angioma of the leptomeninges) and there may be an angioma (collections of abnormal blood vessels) involving the inner lining of the eye (choroidal angioma). The angioma usually involves one side of the brain and varies in extent. More rarely it may involve both sides of the brain. The port wine stain involves the skin around the eye, forehead or scalp. In some cases it may involve other areas of the body in addition to the typical facial distribution. In approximately 13 per cent of cases of SWS the facial port wine stain may be absent. Other features may include epilepsy in 75-90 per cent of cases, learning disability , hemiparesis (weakness of one side of the body) which may be evident during infancy or may occur in relation to seizures or in association with migraine-like headache, glaucoma (raised pressure in the eye) and episodic migraine-like headache.

Sturge-Weber syndrome is a disease that affects the skin and nervous system (neurocutaneous) and is associated with Port Wine Stain, red vascular markings on the face and other parts of the body (shown here on the legs). This is an unusual case, due to the large size of the lesion (extensive involvement). Occasionally seizures or learning disorders are also associated with Sturge-Weber syndrome.

Sturge Weber Syndrome
Identity Other names Encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis Angio-encephalo-cutaneous syndrome Inheritance Sporadic, equal frequency in the sexes Clinics Phenotype and clinics
  • Sturge Weber Syndrome is a congenital condition characterized by an intracranial vascular anomaly, leptomeningeal angiomatosis, most often involving the occipital and parietal lobes. The anomaly can affect both cerebral hemispheres.
  • An ipsilateral facial cutaneous capillary vascular malformation usually affects the upper face in the V1 distribution of the trigeminal nerve.
  • Other findings include glaucoma, buphthalmos, enlargement of the choriod plexus and seizures.
  • Hemiparesis, hemiatrophy, hemianopia and strokelike events may occur contralateral to the cortical abnormality.
  • Venous stasis results in ischemia underlying the leptomeningeal angiomatosis leading to calcification and laminar cortical necrosis.
  • Skull x-ray film may show classic "tram-line" or "tram-track" calcifications.
  • CT scan may show brain atrophy, calcification and ipsilateral choroid plexus enlargement.
