Abstract
The association of Sturge-Weber syndrome with naevus of Ota is an infrequently reported phenomenon and there are only four previously described cases in the literature. In this paper we briefly review the literature regarding the coexistence of vascular and pigmentary naevi and present an additional patient with the association of the Sturge-Weber syndrome and naevus of Ota.
