Sturge-weber Syndrome (SWS) is a phacomatosis characterised by Port-Wine stains, leptomeningeal angiomatosis, and glaucoma. Leptomeningeal angiomatosis is seen in 10% to 20% of the cases with the facial nevus, usually on the ipsilateral side. Parietal and occipital regions are the most commonly involved areas; however, it can involve any area of the brain. Bilateral involvement is detected in 15% of the patients. Bilateral Port-Wine stains have been shown to be associated with an increased risk of developing epilepsy in an early age. Here, we present a case of a 3-month child with bilateral Port-Wine stains who presented with generalised fits. On the basis of Port-Wine stains, SWS was suspected, and MRI was done which showed cerebral atrophy in bilateral fronto-parieto-temporal regions and bilateral leptomeningeal angiomatosis, which are rare findings according to the literature.

斯特奇-韦伯综合征(SWS)是一种颅皮痣病,其特征为葡萄酒色斑、脑膜血管畸形和青光眼。脑膜血管畸形见于面部痣的 10%至 20%病例中,通常位于同侧。顶叶和枕叶是最常受累的区域;然而,它可以累及大脑的任何区域。15%的患者存在双侧受累。已显示双侧葡萄酒色斑与早期癫痫发病风险增加相关。在此,我们介绍了一例 3 个月大的双侧葡萄酒色斑患儿,其表现为全身性发作。根据葡萄酒色斑,怀疑为 SWS,并进行了 MRI 检查,显示双侧额顶颞叶和双侧脑膜血管畸形的脑萎缩,这是根据文献报道的罕见发现。关键词:斯特奇-韦伯综合征、颅皮痣病、葡萄酒色斑、发作。
