Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Port-wine stains, especially those involving the face and eye, can be associated with Sturge-Weber syndrome, which may include eye abnormalities, seizures, and brain involvement. Therefore, interventions would focus on managing these potential complications: B) locating treatment for the cosmetic aspect of the port-wine stain, C) emphasizing the need for regular eye exams due to the risk of glaucoma, D) educating about seizure management if seizures occur, and E) explaining the necessity of an MRI to assess for brain and blood vessel abnormalities. Genetic testing (A) is not directly related to the management of a port-wine stain or its potential complications.
