Abnormal neurovascular coupling during status epilepticus migrainosus in Sturge-Weber syndrome
Sturge-Weber syndrome is a rare, sporadic, neurocutaneous disorder classically characterized by a facial nevus in the trigeminal distribution (port wine stain), leptomeningeal angiomatosis, and glaucoma, although intracranial changes can be present without cutaneous involvement.1 Seizures occur in up to 75% of individuals, are often associated with headache, and stroke-like episodes causing prolonged neurologic deficits are also described.1,2
