Abstract

Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) is a rare and complex neurocutaneous disorder characterized by the presence of facial port-wine stain (nevus flammeus) and leptomeningeal angiomas. We present a unique and challenging case of Sturge-Weber Syndrome in a 6-year-old male with the hallmark facial port-wine stain and ocular manifestations. The patient presented with recurrent seizures and visual disturbances, prompting a thorough clinical evaluation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed leptomeningeal angiomas, confirming the diagnosis of SWS. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary management to optimize patient outcomes and quality of life in individuals with Sturge-Weber Syndrome.
