Sturge-Weber is an orphan disease that causes glaucoma and seizures due to a port wine stain. The Foundation's commitment is to support, refer, advocate, and research the cause and management of Sturge-Weber syndrome. In 1992, the mission was expanded to serve one million individuals with Port Wine Stains and Klippel-Trenaunay
I wish you all the very best and stay strong. :-)

Im 29 and i have SWS. Unfortunately i was just diagnosed (last year), in Switzerland. Im from Greece. Although i was born with wine stains (left eye and a smaller on my left forehead side), plus almost blind there, noone of all the doctors who checked me since i was 4, could tell it was SWS. They all said that i was born with a ''lazy'' eye. And that cause i didnt had any other effects (seizures etc). I will continue treatment from glaucoma in Switzerland and everything is going really well :-)

@Sloris21 It depends on the severity however since it is and “orphan disease” it is really hard to get disability seeing how it does not fit in “the box” It is honestly easier to get SSI disability if you are addicted to drugs or fat and Lazy than if you have a really problem such as SWS.

I Am kinda sick of all these vids of kids with SWS I have this disorder and I am 23. I personally would like to hear more about ppl my age with SWS rather than parents. I understand It effect the family too but I would like to hear more from ppl who actually have lived with this. Just saying

My daughter was recently diagnosed with SWS. She is 15 months old. We live in Sweden and do not have any foundations because of this rare diagnose. Thank you for writing, it makes me feel very optimistic :)
Anyone like to share how SWS has affected their lives, please write to me. Katarina Öhman Andersson on Facebook :)
