Sturge-Weber syndrome

Sturge-Weber syndrome is a rare neurological condition characterized by a birthmark, often on the face, caused by a malformation of blood vessels. It typically involves a reddish-purple mark called a port-wine stain, usually on one side of the face. Along with the skin mark, individuals may experience neurological issues, including seizures, developmental delays, or vision problems due to abnormalities in the brain's blood vessels. The condition can vary widely in severity and symptoms among those affected. Early diagnosis and management can help improve quality of life for individuals with Sturge-Weber syndrome.
