Outcomes and associations in children with Sturge-Weber syndrome and glaucoma
Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare, neurocutaneous syndrome associated with port-wine stains of the face, glaucoma, leptomeningeal angiomas, seizures, and intellectual disability. Few studies report an overall description of findings and treatment for children with Sturge-Weber glaucoma (SWG), which can be challenging to manage. (Source: Journal of AAPOS)

Neurological presentations and cognitive outcome in Sturge-Weber syndrome
CONCLUSIONS: This is the largest reported series documenting detailed developmental profiles of children with SWS, including ID and ASD. PWS(+) shows high rates of ID and language disorder. PWS(-) SWS has a more favourable outcome. Cognitive outcome is contingent on number of affected lobes and bilateral involvement. Epilepsy exerts an additional deleterious effect on language and cognition. A high percentage of children have a history of status epilepticus, with evidence that this impacts language and cognitive outcomes. Acutely acquired neurological deficits did not penalise either. Regular structured clinical and develo...
