Abstract
Sturge-Weber's syndrome (encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis) is a rare, non-hereditary syndrome of congenital abnormalities. It is one of the phakomatoses. The incidence of this syndrome is estimated at 1 in 20,000 - 50,000 live births. The cause of SWS is a somatic mutation in the GNAQ gene. A typical picture of a person suffering from SWS is a child with vascular malformation on the face - a 'port-wine stain' birthmark. Other clinical symptoms include seizures, glaucoma, headache, stroke-like transient neurological deficits, and behavior problems.
