Sturge-Weber Syndrome

A case of Sturge-Weber syndrome (Encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis) with angiomas that involve the leptomeninges, and the skin of the ipsilateral hemiface, associated with congenital glaucoma in the same eye. Various illustrations are included to demonstrate the port wine stain, enlarged optic nerve cupping (glaucomatous optic neuropathy), and typical MRI findings which may be seen in Sturge-Weber syndrome.
