Aim: Sturge–Weber Syndrome, also known as encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis, is an uncommon, nonhereditary developmental anomaly. Methodology: A 48-year-old woman presented for routine dental treatment. She had a history of seizures and had a port wine stain on the right side of her face, which followed the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. Skull radiographs revealed “tram-track” calcifications. Conclusions: The early diagnosis of Sturge–Weber Syndrome requires a multidisciplinary approach. Oral health care professionals need adequate knowledge and understanding of the disease process to help diagnose and treat these patients.
