Abstract
This study preliminarily evaluates stimulant medication use in a small group of Sturge-Weber syndrome patients. Stimulants were tolerated and effective in most subjects. Side effects were mostly minor and medication did not negatively affect growth or vital signs. Stimulant medication may be a safe and effective intervention for Sturge-Weber syndrome children with attention issues/attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed.
