Sturge–Weber Syndrome is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome. This case involves a possible complication of excessive intra‐operative bleeding. Surgical management of such patients may be challenging due to the risk of haemorrhage. The purpose of this case report is to discuss the importance of pre‐operative angiography in such patients for oral surgical procedures.
