Subscribe now >> Sturge-Weber Syndrome Sturge-Weber syndrome (also called encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis) is a congenital disorder characterized by a birthmark and neurological abnormalities. Symptoms of the disorder, which vary widely among patients, may include eye and internal organ irregularities. The most apparent symptom is a facial birthmark or port wine stain which is present at birth and usually involves at least one upper eyelid and the forehead. The stain, varying from light pink to deep purple, is caused by an overabundance of capillaries just beneath the surface of the affected skin. Neurological symptoms include excessive blood vessel growth on the surface of the brain (angiomas). These angiomas are typically located on the back or occipital region of the brain and cause abnormal conditions for brain function. Seizures are a common early occurrence, often starting by one year of age, and may worsen with age. The convulsions usually appear on the opposite side of the body from the port wine stain and vary in severity. A weakening or loss of use of the side of the body opposite the port wine stain (hemiparesis) may also develop. Developmental delay of motor and cognitive skills may occur. 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.

Home About Partners 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.

There is a facial birth mark (port wine stain), a layer of blood vessels over the covering of the brain (venous angioma of the leptomeninges) and there may be an angioma (collections of abnormal blood vessels) involving the inner lining of the eye (choroidal angioma). The angioma usually involves one side of the brain and varies in extent. More rarely it may involve both sides of the brain. The port wine stain involves the skin around the eye, forehead or scalp. In some cases it may involve other areas of the body in addition to the typical facial distribution. In approximately 13 per cent of cases of SWS the facial port wine stain may be absent. Other features may include epilepsy in 75-90 per cent of cases

20. Special Child: Disorder Zone Archives - Sturge-Weber Syndrome sturgeweber syndrome. Introduction. sturge-weber syndrome (SWS) is a congenital disorder characterized by a facial birthmark and neurological abnormalities. http://www.specialchild.com/archives/dz-016.html

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)
