摘要

Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS), is a rare neuro-oculo-cutaneous disorder that presents unique diagnostic and management challenges, particularly in resource-limited settings. This editorial reflects on a recent case of an undiagnosed SWS in an Ethiopian refugee patient in Sudan, highlighting systemic barriers to healthcare access during a time of war and the importance of clinical vigilance. We advocate for local and global initiatives to further enhance diagnostic capabilities, develop integrated care systems in recognition and management of such a rare and complex condition.
