Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is characterized by facial capillary malformation, leptomeningeal capillary malformations, and choroidal and episcleral vascular malformations. These malformations produce neurologic and ophthalmological symptoms including seizures and glaucoma. A premature male newborn without prenatal diagnosis presented with severe bilateral SWS and was started on systemic sirolimus and aspirin. The patient has remained seizure-free for 23 months and demonstrated an excellent response to pulsed dye laser treatment.
