Facial port-wine stains are capillary malformations, which can reveal, very rarely, Sturge–Weber syndrome (SWS). The SWS is a severe neurocutaneous syndrome, which involves a facial port-wine stain, ophthalmologic abnormalities, and neurologic signs.
Neuroimaging (computed tomography [CT]-scan/angio-magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) provides the diagnosis of SWS and the best age to perform the exam is not established. When a newborn has a facial port-wine stain reaching V1, ophthalmologic examination must be performed in the first months of life, as well as neuroimaging, a treatment of the port-wine stain must be considered. We report the case of a child in whom SWS was suspected based on facial angioma and pharmaco-resistant epilepsy.
Keywords: Facial angioma, Leptomeningeal angiomas, MRI
