Sturge-Weber syndrome treated with 589 nm Pulsed Dye Laser
Keywords:
Sturge-Weber syndrome, pulsed dye laser, capillary malformationAbstract
The Sturge-Weber syndrome is a sporadic, congenital, neurocutaneous disorder. Its clinical manifestations include facial capillary malformation, leptomeningeal angioma, and angiomatous choroidal lesions in the eye predisposing to glaucoma. For facial capillary malformation treatment, pulsed dye laser has shown to be the most efficient way of dealing with it. We report a Sturge-Weber syndrome case treated with pulsed dye laser with excellent cosmetic results.
