Sturge Webber Syndrome
A facial port wine stain over the eye and on the forehead can be a sign of sturge webber syndrome. Which can lead to glaucoma and or seizures. A simple MRI with contrast can rule out SWS. A glaucoma test will probably be done periodically throughout your child’s life. Glaucoma can be treated with eye drops and if seizure activity is present your doctor will present you with the option of several medications to choose from with their pros and cons which you as an individual will have to decide which is best suited for your child. If you even choose to medicate. Remember that all seizures are not grand maul seizures, which the majority of us are familiar with. Some seizure activity is hard to detect and if you think your child is having seizure like activity an EEG can be done to help determine this.
