title: Pulsed dye laser for Sturge-Weber syndrome.
abstract: Port wine stain of Sturge-Weber syndrome represents a cosmetic prejudice with social consequences. We have treated eight patients with a 585 nm pulsed dye laser. According to our experience, the treatment is not risky provided that adequate care is taken; the cosmetic result on the V1 port wine stain component is satisfactory.
