Sturge-Weber syndrome (also called encephalofacial or encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis) is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by facial port-wine stains in the trigeminal nerve distribution area. An innovative treatment based on surgical and laser techniques of a patient affected with Sturge-Weber syndrome is reported. The aesthetic and functional results were satisfactory.
