  • Genetics

Background:

  • Sturge-Weber syndrome is a sporadic neurocutaneous disorder.
  • It presents with facial port-wine stains, ocular abnormalities (glaucoma, choroidal hemangioma), and leptomeningeal angiomas.
  • Pathogenesis, genetics, and embryogenesis are not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review available data on Sturge-Weber syndrome.
  • To highlight clinical features and associated complications.
  • To emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on Sturge-Weber syndrome.
  • Analysis of clinical features, genetics, and pathology.
  • Discussion of diagnostic and management strategies.

Main Results:

  • Clinical manifestations range from mild to severe, including seizures and glaucoma.
  • Associated complications require careful monitoring.
  • Early neuroimaging is vital for recognizing intracranial involvement.

Conclusions:

  • Diagnosis of glaucoma and intracranial involvement is fundamental in at-risk children.
  • Early recognition of neuroimaging features is important.
