SWS = Sturge-Weber syndrome

A higher T-score represents more cognitive function Neuro-QoL, and it is standardized to have a standard deviation of 10 with 50 representing the mean value in the reference population (see text for description). An increased extent of skin, eye, and total SWS involvement correlated with lower cognitive function Neuro-QoL. Extent of brain involvement was not significantly associated with cognitive function Neuro-QoL.
