Surgical management of labial hypertrophy in Sturge weber syndrome

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Sturge Weber Syndrome (SWS) is a rare neurocutaneous vascular disorder characterized by a facial birthmark known as a Port Wine Stain (PWS), eye abnormalities, and abnormal blood vessels in the brain. It is basically a multisystem disorder that can involve the nervous system, skin, and eyes (phakomatosis). The broad array of clinical manifestations and potentially life-threatening complications underscores the crucial and imperative need for an accurate diagnosis. An effective treatment strategy for SWS patients involves a multidisciplinary approach. Dental procedures in these individuals pose challenges due to the potential risk for substantial bleeding during both intra- and postoperative phases.This article aims to document a case of a 27 year old woman and a 24 year old man diagnosed with Sturge weber syndrome at birth and presented a labial hypertrophy.
