Resumen

MORALES QUEROL, Meylín de la Caridad et al. Encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis or Sturge-Weber syndrome. A propos of a case. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2017, vol.39, n.3, pp. 592-601. ISSN 1684-1824.

The Sturge-Weber syndrome is, in its complete form, the association of ocular, cutaneous and cerebral anomalies. From the clinical point of view, it is characterized by a wine-color spot on the face, epilepsy, mental retardation, other neurological deficit manifestations and glaucoma. We presented the case of a male, black patient, aged 9 years, who was born by eutocic delivery, with 4 200 g weight, and perinatal symptoms of cyanosis, finding several facial hemangioma from the moment of birth. At the physical examination, it was confirmed on the face and crania, evasive forehead with facial hemangioma or choroidal hemangioma, left unilateral glaucoma, micrognathia. Dental malocclusion was stated and clinodactyly of the fifth finger. Besides that, he has an asymmetric trunk, severe mental retardation and tonic-clonic convulsive episodes frequently repeated. Taking into account all these elements we began to suspect the possible diagnosis of a Sturge-Weber syndrome.

Palabras clave : Sturge-Weber syndrome; angioma.
