What Causes Angiomyolipoma?

Sturge-Weber Syndrome

Sturge-Weber Syndrome or SWS is a rare neurological disorder that causes a hallmark port-wine stain on the forehead and eyelid that is usually apparent at birth. Not all children with a port-wine stain have SWS, but all patients with SWS have the hallmark port-wine stain. The disorder can also cause abnormal blood vessels, intellectual delay, cerebral malformation, seizures, and glaucoma. SWS typically occurs sporadically with no known hereditary cause.

Both SWS and angiomyolipoma are called phakomatoses, which is a group of neuro-oculo-cutaneous syndromes that affect multiple systems. Angiomyolipoma can be found with other phakomatoses including SWS and neurofibromatosis.
