Undiagnosed Epileptic Case Since Childhood of Sturge-Weber Syndrome: First Case Report from Somalia.

Sturge-Weber syndrome is a rare, sporadic, progressive neurocutaneous condition that presents with congenital hamartomatous malformations, epilepsy, and a variety of facial symptoms. We discussed a rare case of an eighteen-year-old female child who came to our neurology department with status epilepticus, mental impairment, and a port-wine in the lateral left side of her face. We diagnosed Sturge-Weber syndrome after a thorough neurological and radiological evaluation. The purpose of presenting this case is to illustrate both the characteristic presentation and the complications associated with managing Sturge-Weber syndrome.
