Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) refers to phakomatoses. In the classic form of SWS there are the triad of symptoms such as skin angioma, pathology of the eye and neurological disorders. In our clinical case on one half of the face are observed reddish, bluish tint cutaneous nevi "port wine stains" - angiomatosis, on the same side in the gyrus of the occipital-temporal-parietal lobes calcifications vertically up to 60mm (on computer tomography), generalized seizures which resistant to the treatment and sharp-slowly wave complex on electroencephalography, headaches, eye disorders as impaired vision and pain in the eyeball. The diagnosis was based on cutaneous angiomatosis, calcifications in the brain and seizures. Such patients recommended medical supervision, in case of increase of clinical symptoms providing preventive measures with the use of surgical methods.
