Abstract:
A facial birthmark known as a port-wine stain, neurological symptoms like seizures, hemiparesis, intellectual disability, and learning difficulties, and ocular abnormalities like glaucoma, choroidal haemangiomas, or heterochromia of irides are all associated with Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS), a rare vascular disorder. We report a novel case of SWS in a 19-year-old woman who had an unusual presentation of the type 2 Roach variation of SWS, characterized by gingival hypertrophy and typical port-wine staining of the face, bilaterally, without any other symptoms.
