An Atypical Seizure Onset and Re-Emergence in a Refugee with an Undiagnosed Sturge-Weber Syndrome: A Case Report from a Limited Setting.

Background: Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a complex rare genetic neuro-cutaneous disorder characterized by the presence of a port-wine stain, ophthalmic and intracranial angiomatosis leading to seizures, ocular, and oral abnormalities.

Case Presentation: We report a 39-year-old, non-diabetic, non-hypertensive female refugee who presented initially with heart failure due to anemia for which she received blood transfusions. Later on admission, she developed multiple focal to bilateral seizures, severe irritability, aphasia, and right-sided hemiplegia, leading to admission to the ICU.
