According to
Healthline.com, the most apparent indication of a potential SWS is a port-wine stain on
one side of the face, but it may or may not indicate SWS. However, all
children with a diagnosis of SWS do tend to have a port-wine stain. The red
discoloration is due to dilated blood vessels that make the skin appear
reddened. A diagnosis of SWS, typically requires a port-wine stain, plus
abnormal blood vessels on the same side of the brain as the stain. In some,
abnormal blood vessels do not seem to trigger symptoms, while in others,
symptoms may include weakness on one side of the body, increased eye pressure
that can lead to glaucoma, cognitive impairment, developmental delays, and
even seizures and/or paralysis.
