Sturge-Weber syndrome
Background
Sturge-Weber syndrome: SWS
Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a neurocutaneous syndrome, meaning it affects both the skin and central nervous system. SWS is characterised by an abnormality of the blood vessels on the surface of the brain, the skin of the face and the inner part of the eye. The abnormality of the blood vessels is due to the growth of benign (non cancerous) tumours, known as angiomas.
