Popis:	Sturge-Weber disease is a well-known neurocutaneous syndrome that has been classically described as a facial cutaneous angioma and leptomeningeal angiomatosis. Clinical characteristics and natural evolution are also well documented. We report a patient with many unusual components of this disease, including poor neurological outcome despite occasional seizures, rapid and severe brain atrophy and hydrocephalus. This case leads us to consider the polymorphism of this affection and the possibility of a severe clinical degradation even presenting occasional and well-controlled seizures.
