Summary:Cerebral ultrasound (CUS) can be a valuable non-invasive diagnostic tool for brain involvement in Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS). Literature discussing the relevance of ultrasound in SWS is, however, scarce.We report a case of a newborn with SWS and serious brain abnormalities diagnosed on the first day of life with a CUS.
