    • It involves abnormal blood vessel development (angiomatosis) in the brain, skin, and eye.

    Observation:

    • This report presents a case of Sturge-Weber syndrome with significant manifestations.
    • The patient exhibited characteristic unilateral facial port-wine stains.

    Findings:

    • The case demonstrated typical features including leptomeningeal angiomatosis and ocular involvement.
