Abstract
Sturge-Weber syndrome is a sporadic neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by facial capillary malformation,ocular vascular malformation and leptomeningeal angioma.The involvement of whole ophthalmic branch of trigeminal nerve and bilateral face by port-wine stains often strongly predicts the presence of underlying neurological and/or ocular disorders that require on-going ophthalmological surveillance and/or neurological management.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),especially after contrast injection,is the preferred and most sensitive imaging technique for the diagnosis of Sturge-Weber syndrome.Facial port wine stain can be treated with pulsed dye laser,and the control of epilepsy and glaucoma may be achieved by medical treatment and surgical operation. Key words: Sturge-Weber syndrome; Diagnosis
