Sturge-Weber syndrome
Sturge-Weber syndrome is a rare neurological condition that is present at birth. It is characterized by a facial birthmark, known as a port-wine stain, typically located on one side of the face. This condition is associated with abnormal blood vessels in the brain, which can lead to various complications, including seizures and developmental delays.
Individuals with Sturge-Weber syndrome may also experience glaucoma and other eye problems due to the vascular malformations. Diagnosis is usually made through clinical evaluation and imaging studies, such as MRI, to assess brain involvement. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and may include medications for seizures and interventions for eye issues.
