Sturge-Weber Syndrome: Linking Epilepsy, Migraines, and Diabetes

Research Summary

A recent case report in the journal Cureus details an unusual presentation of type 3 Sturge-Weber syndrome, a rare condition characterized by vascular malformations. This report focuses on a 30-year-old man who experienced recurrent focal seizures and migraine-like headaches, highlighting the complexity of diagnosing this rare form. The patient had experienced focal seizures since childhood, with worsening symptoms over time. Examination and neuroimaging confirmed the diagnosis, revealing leptomeningeal enhancement and cortical atrophy. Notably, the patient also had newly diagnosed diabetes, suggesting a potential metabolic link. Management involved antiepileptic therapy and glycemic control, underscoring the need for early neuroimaging and high diagnostic suspicion.
