Abstract

El síndrome de Sturge Weber (SSW) se caracteriza por el compromiso clásico de malformaciones vasculares neurooculocutáneas esporádicas, cuya fisiopatología hasta la fecha no se ha podido dilucidar del todo. El descubrimiento de un perfil molecular tanto arterial como venoso en el endotelio presente en las malformaciones vasculares aunado a zonas de atresia vascular distales a las zonas ectasicas, han llevado a cuestionar las teorías embriológicas planteadas desde hace décadas, para explorar las características moleculares y genéticas en el tejido afectado.

English Abstract

Sturge Weber syndrome (SSW) is characterized by the classic involvement of sporadic neuro-oculo-cutaneous vascular malformations, the pathophysiology of which to date has not been fully elucidated.The discovery of both an arterial and venous molecular profile in the endothelium present in vascular malformations, together with vascular atresia zones distal to the ectatic zones, have led to questioning the embryological theories put forward for decades, to explore the molecular and genetic characteristics in the affected tissue.
