Sturge-Weber syndrome is a disease that affects the skin and
nervous system (neurocutaneous) and is associated with Port Wine
Stain, red vascular markings on the face and other parts of the
body (shown here on the legs). This is an unusual case, due to the
large size of the lesion (extensive involvement). Occasionally
seizures or learning disorders are also associated with
Sturge-Weber syndrome.
