In Vizag, managing Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) in children demands specialized care and comprehensive support available at select pediatric neurology centers. SWS is a rare neurological disorder characterized by a facial birthmark called a port-wine stain, typically on the face or head, along with neurological abnormalities. While specific centers excel in pediatric neurology, the focus on comprehensive care for children affected by SWS is notable in Vizag's medical landscape.
Treatment for SWS involves a multidisciplinary approach, often involving pediatric neurologists, dermatologists, ophthalmologists, and other specialists. While there's no cure for SWS, management aims to address symptoms and complications. Medications may be prescribed to manage seizures, physical therapy might aid in addressing motor deficits, and laser therapy may help lighten or reduce the appearance of port-wine stains.
