Sturge and ndash;Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare congenital disorder belongs to a group of disorders collectively known as the phakomatoses ( and ldquo;mother-spot and rdquo; diseases). It consists of congenital hamartomatous malformations that may affect the eye, skin, and central nervous system (CNS) at different times, characterized by the combination of venous angiomas of leptomeninges, face, jaws and oral soft tissues.
