Abstract
Sturge-Weber syndrome is a rare neurocutaneous disease, also called encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis. In this study, we aimed to present a patient with Sturge-Weber syndrome who had atypical radiological findings and with dural arteriovenous fistula. The patient presented with hemifacial asymmetry. Sturge-Weber syndrome may present with atypical radiological findings and additional pathologies.
