Sturge-Weber syndrome
Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a neurological disorder marked by a distinctive port-wine stain on the forehead, scalp, or around the eye. This stain is a birthmark caused by an overabundance of capillaries near the surface of the skin. Blood vessels on the same side of the brain as the stain may also be affected. A large number of people with SWS experience seizures or convulsions. Other complications may include increased pressure in the eye, developmental delays, and weakness on one side of the body. 🗝 The most apparent indication of SWS is a port-wine stain, or red and discolored skin on one side of the face. The discoloration is due to dilated blood vessels in the face that make the skin appear reddened. •it’s the result of a random mutation in the GNAQ gene. 💊 Treatment for SWS can vary depending on the symptoms a child is experiencing. It may consist of: medications known as anticonvulsant medications, which can reduce seizure activity eye drops, which can decrease eye pressure surgery, which can relieve glaucoma symptoms physical therapy, which can strengthen weak muscles
Doesn’t it look somewhat like herpes zoster infection affecting one side of the face? Although there may be some differences though .... ignore it if I am wrong😅
