Description Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by facial nevus and leptomeningeal angiomatosis with neurological and ophthalmological complications. In its rare variant, SWS type 3, the clinical feature of facial nevus is absent, posing a diagnostic challenge. We present the case of a patient with late-onset SWS without facial nevus who presented with homonymous hemianopsia and visual hallucinations.
