Abstract:

Sturge—Weber syndrome belongs to the group of phacomotoses and is characterized by a combined lesion of the skin, eyes, nervous system and internal organs. The clinical course of Sturge—Weber syndrome is quite diverse. Of particular interest in the practice of pediatric neurology and neurosurgery is the fact that 72—90% of patients present with epilepsy. Of particular difficulty is the differential diagnosis of epileptic seizures and stroke-like episodes. The article presents clinical cases of patients with Sturge—Weber syndrome of various ages with epileptic seizures and transient ischemic attacks.

Keywords:

Sturge—Weber syndrome
epilepsy
stroke-like episodes
