Summary
Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS), also called encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis and Sturge-Weber-Dimitry syndrome, is a rare noninherited congenital neurocutaneous disorder characterized by the association of a facial birthmark called a port-wine stain; abnormal capillary venous vessels in the leptomeninges of the brain and choroid; glaucoma; and seizures, stroke, and intellectual disability [1, 2].
