I know this is probably the wrong forum to post this on. But does anyone know any child suffering from this condition. Or can you advise where to repost

    Not heard of it, sorry.
    But if you get no replies, you could maybe try the disability and dosh part of the forum.

    Google Sturge-Weber syndrome, I believe there is a community, though maybe American as seems quite rare. Hope you find what you want.

    nigelag. I hope all goes well. A close relative has this. He is not yet 1yr old and already having a lot of siezuresxx
  • My RubyRed. Sorry to hear of your relative, so young makes it all the more painful for those arround. From the experience we have had is that they do stablised but it is a slow process. Then hopefully medication will keep them stable.

    Hoped that there was going to be an op available but the problem covers both sides of the brain so its a non starter. Take care xx
  • thanks and the best of luck for yours, hope they come out quick and well.
