A MRI brain is usually required to diagnose

Posted Apr 26, 2017 by Gill 1150
An MRI at birth serves as a good baseline to determine if the child has Sturge-Weber. Eye pressures should also be checked and the child should be watched closely for any seizure activity. Lastly a dermatologist should be seen to distinguish any marks as being port wine stain related on the child's face or body.

Sturge Weber is diagnosed based on a variety of symptoms. The main one is thee birth mark on the persons face. But not everyone has the birth mark some have it on there brain so an mri would be the best option.
