Abstract

The presentation of a newborn with perinatal asphyxia and poor developmental milestones in a resource-poor setting. Many a times, obscured, unsuspected, and uncommon etiologies compound well-known causes of failure to thrive; in this case a rare finding of Type III Sturge-Weber Syndrome was revealed by Brain CT scanning.

Keywords: Failure to thrive; Sturge‐Weber Syndrome – type III; hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy; perinatal asphyxia; port‐wine birthmark
