Angiomas, (collections of abnormal blood vessels) occur in the meninges (coverings) of the cerebral cortex, usually on one side of the brain. affected individuals frequently develop Epilepsy which may be partial, affecting just one side of the body and hemiparesis (weakness on that side) may also develop. some individuals have learning difficulties. The condition is associated with a 'port wine' stain usually confined to half the face in the distribution of the branches of the trigeminal nerve. It may sometimes be bilateral or other parts of the body may also be affected. Occasionally no port wine stain is present. Associated eye conditions, most commonly choroidal angioma or glaucoma may be present.

Home About Members Contact What is SWS? Sturge-Weber Syndrome (encephelotrigeminal angiomatosis) is a congenital, non-familial disorder of unknown incidence and cause. It is characterized by a congenital facial birthmark and neurological abnormalities. Other symptoms associated with Sturge-Weber can include eye and internal organ irregularities. Each case of Sturge-Weber Syndrome is unique and exhibits the characterizing findings to varying degrees. Facial Birthmark The most apparent indication of Sturge-Weber Syndrome is a facial birthmark or "Port Wine Stain" present at birth and typically involving at least one upper eyelid and the forehead. Much variation in the size of the stain has been reported and may be limited to one side of the face or may involve both sides. The stain, varying from light pink to deep purple, is due to an overabundance of capillaries just beneath the surface of the involved skin. In persons with dark pigmentation, the stain may be difficult to recognize. In rare instances, there is an absence of a Port Wine Stain. Neurological Abnormalities Neurological concerns relate to the development of excessive blood vessel growth on the surface of the brain (angiomas). These are located typically on the back (occipital) region of the brain on the same side as the port wine stain. These angiomas create abnormal conditions for brain function in the region. Seizure activity is the most common early problem, often starting by one year of age. The convulsions usually appear on the opposite side of the body from the Port Wine Stain and vary in severity. Vigorous attempts are made to control the seizures with medication. A weakening or loss of the use of one side of the body (hemiparesis), may develop opposite to the port wine stain. Developmental delay of motor and cognitive skills may also occur to varying degrees.

Disorder Zone Archives Sturge-Weber Syndrome Introduction Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a congenital disorder characterized by a facial birthmark and neurological abnormalities. It is the result of a malfunction of the development of blood vessels (excessive growth) over a portion of the brain, usually the back (occipital). The cause of SWS is unknown, however, it has been determined that it is not the result of anything that the mother did or consumed during her pregnancy. SWS is not hereditary; it is considered to be the result of a spontaneous mutation. It is believed that one cell is affected some time during fetal development, and as that particular cell divides, the error is then duplicated in subsequent cells. If a cell is affected during the early stage of development, then the effects will be more severe, as more cells will carry the error. The incidence of SWS is unknown (and is probably underdiagnosed and underreported), however, the Sturge-Weber Foundation has just under 1,000 families involved with their organization. Features and Characteristics Facial birthmark Excessive blood vessel growth on the surface of the brain Seizures Hemiparesis (weakening or loss of use of one side of the body, opposite the birthmark)

What is Sturge-Weber syndrome? Sturge-Weber syndrome is a rare disease with no recognized hereditary component. It consists of a red discoloration (portwine stain) involving the skin on the face. Usually the eyelids are also involved. The mucous membranes (lining of the mouth and nose) and the meninges (covering of the brain) can also be affected. The cause of Sturge-Weber is unknown and there are no known preventive measures. Return to Top What are the symptoms? Since brain involvement is variable, a wide spectrum of neurologic, developmental, and visual problems can exist. These may include seizures, visual problems, weakness or paralysis on one side, and/or learning disabilities ranging from mild to severe. Return to Top How is this syndrome diagnosed?

Glaucoma (increased pressure within the eye) may be present at birth or develop later. Buphthalmos (enlargement of the coatings of the eye) may also occur in the eye that is affected by the port wine stain. Sturge-Weber syndrome rarely affects other body organs.
