Encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis (Sturge–Weber syndrome) is a rather uncommon congenital condition characterized by the combination of venous angioma of the leptomeninges over the cerebral cortex with ipsilateral angiomatous lesions of the face, and sometimes the skull, jaws, and oral soft tissues. A case of portwine stain with intraoral gingival hemangioma is presented. There were no other systemic manifestations. Patient reported with a complaint of localized tumor-like swelling in gums. Based on the presence of sharply demarcated vascular lesion unilaterally on the face and with ipsilateral intraoral vascular hyperplasia in the lip and gingiva, a variant of encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis was diagnosed. Ultrasound Doppler flowmetry was used to determine the blood flow. Dental management included plaque control instructions, scaling, root planning, and excision of the lesion done under general anesthesia. Close follow-up and meticulous plaque control have kept the oral condition under fairly good control.

“…When oral surgical procedures are needed in the areas affected by vascular lesions, such as periodontal surgery or tooth extraction, special attention must be given to the risk of severe intra‐ and postoperative haemorrhage. Special care to prevent and treat complications may include hospitalization, and the use of local anaesthesia with vasoconstrictors, dressings and splints [4,6]. The risks involved help to reinforce the importance of good dental health for affected patients.…”

“…Analysing panoramic and intraoral radiographs, some authors have reported that alveolar, periodontal and pulpal structures may be involved, and that alterations in vascularity within the jaws may lead to altered ipsilateral dental eruption sequences, with early eruption of the permanent teeth in affected areas causing malocclusion [4][5][6]. In the present case, a panoramic radiograph failed to show bone alterations or suggest alterations to dental eruption, except for demonstrating the absence of the left upper and lower second premolars.…”

Sturge-Weber syndrome is a congenital disorder characterized by vascular facial birthmarks and neurological abnormalities. Oral cavity involvement may occur, and the extent of the vascular abnormality may vary considerably. The present authors report the case of a 6-year-old girl with Sturge-Weber syndrome, focusing on the clinical and radiographic features. Her dental management involved a multidisciplinary team and included orthodontic treatment using removable appliances.

“…Gingival hypertrophy can be ascribed to the gingival location of the hemangioma; however, it could also be related to the anticonvulsant therapy with diphenylhydantoin or phenobarbital. 5,6 The tongue is less frequently affected and might have hemihypertrophy and teleangectasias. Secondary manifestations might be periodontal abscesses and bleeding, both of inflammatory and traumatic origin in the case of marked hypertrophy 7,8 .…”
