Sturge-Weber syndrome is indicated by angiomas in which locations?

  1. Heart and lungs

  2. Liver and spleen

  3. Meninges and skin along the trigeminal nerve

  4. Kidneys and adrenals

The correct answer is: Meninges and skin along the trigeminal nerve

Sturge-Weber syndrome, a rare congenital neurological disorder, is characterized by the presence of facial port-wine stains caused by malformation of blood vessels in the meninges and skin along the trigeminal nerve. This is the distinguishing feature of this syndrome, which helps to differentiate it from other conditions with similar symptoms. Angiomas in the heart and lungs, liver and spleen, and kidneys and adrenals are not associated with Sturge-Weber syndrome. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect.
