Abstract

Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS), also known as encephalofacial angiomatosis, is a rare congenital neurocutaneous and ocular condition. It is characterized by two types of malformations: a congenital facial port-wine stain and a capillary-venous leptomeningeal angioma, typically homolaterally located, often in the parieto-occipital region. The diagnosis of SWS largely relies on neuroimaging, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is crucial for identifying anomalies before the onset of neuro-ocular complications. We present the case of a child in whom SWS is suspected due to the presence of a facial and leptomeningeal angioma.
