Have you heard of Sturge-Weber Syndrome? Many people haven't, and that's exactly why awareness matters π
Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) is a rare neurological condition present at birth, often recognized by a port-wine birthmark on the face. But what many don't see is what happens inside β abnormal blood vessels in the brain that can cause seizures, stroke-like episodes, vision loss, and developmental challenges.
Epilepsy is one of the most common and difficult features of SWS, affecting the majority of those diagnosed.
At EAO, we stand with the Sturge-Weber community. Rare does not mean alone π
