treatment for sturge–weber syndrome is symptomatic. laser treatment may be used to lighten or remove the birthmark. anticonvulsant medications may be used to control seizures. doctors recommend early monitoring for glaucoma, and surgery may be performed on more serious cases. when one side of the brain is affected and anticonvulsants prove ineffective, the standard treatment is neurosurgery to remove or disconnect the affected part of the brain (hemispherectomy). physical therapy should be considered for infants and children with muscle weakness. educational therapy is often prescribed for those with intellectual disability or developmental delays, but there is no complete treatment for the delays.
