ABSTRACT

Sturge-Kalischer-Weber syndrome is a rare, sporadic, non-hereditary congenital neurocutaneous condition characterized by a range of neurological and dermatological manifestations. The most common features include unilateral facial port-wine stains (nevi) and leptomeningeal angiomas, which may lead to seizures, typically during infancy in approximately 70% of cases. Associated features often include developmental delay, mental retardation, and glaucoma. This paper documents the first reported case of Sturge-Kalischer-Weber syndrome in Iraq, contributing to the limited body of literature on this condition in the region.
