Brief Summary
Individuals with Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) sometimes have brain involvement which can result in seizures, stroke-like episodes and neurologic deficits. The purpose of this study is to integrate longitudinal clinical data, radiological data, and blood biomarkers of Sturge-Weber syndrome patients. The research aims are:
- 1.To integrate longitudinal clinical data, radiological data, and blood biomarkers of Sturge-Weber syndrome patients.
- 2.Identify plasma and imaging biomarkers sensitive to exacerbation of clinical symptoms including seizures, headaches, or stroke-like episodes.
- 3.For enrolled patients who present with severe neurological symptoms screen blood samples for inflammatory changes.

Eligibility Criteria
Assemble a cohort of 250 patients with standardized phenotyping/diagnosis to collect standardized longitudinal clinical and radiological data and obtain blood samples at enrollment. We anticipate 25% of 250 enrolled patients will have serious neurological symptoms.
You may qualify if:
- Patients with MRI-documented unilateral or bilateral leptomeningeal angiomas with or without neurological symptoms including seizures, headaches, and stroke-like episodes
- Patients of any age
- Availability of longitudinal clinical and imaging data from all patient EHR records
- Consent to being followed prospectively throughout the course of the study
- Willing to provide blood samples
You may not qualify if:
- Persons without physician diagnosed SWS
- Persons unwilling to sign informed consent
