Abstract

The cutaneous findings associated with Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) are characterized by a port-wine stain at the site of the first branching of the trigeminal nerve. Recently, a new vascular classification for the port-wine stain is proposed in association with SWS. There is no consensus regarding the screening of SWS, but suspected cases of SWS are recommended for early referral to ophthalmologists. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain in infants, when they are younger than 6 months, leaves the possibility of false-negatives of SWS.
