Periodontal growth in areas of vascular malformation in patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome: a management protocol.
Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a very rare condition characterized by abnormal vascular formations that encompass several manifestations: cutaneous, neurologic, ocular, and oral. Neurologic conditions are the most important factor, especially epilepsy, which frequently leads patients to make use of anticonvulsants. These drugs are capable of inducing abnormal tissue growth in the oral cavity that can be situated over areas with vascular malformation, requiring special attention by the clinician. This report describes 1 case of SWS and performs a literature review of treatments for this condition, providing a protocol of treatment for these clinical situations.
