Sturge-Weber Syndrome

Sturge–Weber syndrome
Sometimes mentioned to as encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis, is an infrequent inherited neurological and skin complaint.
Symptoms
Sturge–Weber syndrome is typically established at birth by a port-wine tint on the brow and upper eyelid of one side of the face.

Diagnosis
A port-wine stain is the most mutual sign of this disorder. If you have one, your doctor will run tests to check your nervous functions. X-rays, calculated tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans can be used to take full images of your brain
Treatment

Laser cure may be used to ease or eliminate the birthmark. Anticonvulsant medicine may be used to regulate confiscations.
