Abstract

Sturge-Weber syndrome is a rare nonhereditary developmental condition that is characterized by a hamartomatous vascular proliferation involving the tissue of brain and face. The clinical features are characterized by port wine nevus following one or more divisions of trigeminal nerve, ocular involvement and neurologic involvement such as epilepsy, mental retardation, and contralateral hemiplegia. Oral manifestations include unilateral blood vessel expansion of the oral mucosa, vascular hyperplasia of gingiva, pyogenic granuloma-like massive hemangiomatous proliferation of oral mucosa, macrodontia, ipsilateral macroglossia, blood vessel anomaly of maxilla or mandible and abnormal tooth eruption sequence. This case report is about 11-year-old Sturge-Weber syndrome patient presented port wine nevus on the face, venous malformation on soft plate and buccal mucosa. In this case we performed simple extraction of several deciduous teeth and periodic oral hygiene management. If a patient with Sturge-Weber syndrome has to undergo dental surgery in affected areas of the mouth, great care must be taken to prevent severe hemorrhage
