New Trigger for Stroke-like Episode in Sturge-Weber Syndrome: A Case Report.

. Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare non-hereditary neurovascular disorder characterized by capillary-venous malformations on the face, ocular vascular anomalies, and leptomeningeal capillary-venous malformations. Patients with SWS often experience cerebral perfusion impairment, increasing their risk for stroke-like episodes, seizures, and motor and cognitive impairments. . We report the case of a 2-year-old boy diagnosed with SWS who developed a stroke-like episode following dye laser therapy under deep sedation. . Despite initial diagnostic challenges and persistent seizures, appropriate management led to full neurological recovery. . This case highlights the importance of considering stroke-like episodes in children with SWS after stressful events such as medical procedures.
