Encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis, more commonly known as Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS), is a rare disorder occurring sporadically with a frequency of 1:50,000. It is characterized by facial nevus, seizures, hemiparesis, intracranial calcification, and mental retardation. We report here a young infant presenting with port-wine stain of one side of the face and transient hemiparesis (stroke-like episode) of the opposite side, seizures, and intracranial calcification, suggesting the diagnosis of SWS. The child reported here presented with a stroke-like event at a relatively young age, which is unusual. The baby was given supportive therapy.
