Abstract
Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) or encephalo-trijeminous angiomatosis combines congenital facial angioma, leptomeningeal angioma and choroidal angioma. Diagnosis is made with MRI, ideally before ocular complications arise. In Sturge-Weber syndrome, neurodevelopmental outcome depends on recognition of the signs of severity and appropriate therapeutic management of the epilepsy. We report the case of a 9-year-old boy in whom Sturge-Weber syndrome was suspected on the basis of a facial angioma and drug-resistant epilepsy.
