Feedback:
Sturge-Weber syndrome is characterized by a congenital port-wine birthmark on the skin of the upper part of the face that follows the distribution of the first division of the fifth cranial nerve. Because of involvement of the meningeal blood vessels, blood flow can be sluggish, and anoxia may develop in some portions of the cerebral cortex. The child will develop symptoms of numbness on the side opposite the lesion from destruction of motor neurons. This syndrome cannot be cured with medication. Removing the birthmark with surgery will not correct the long-term effects of the problem. The birthmark is not caused by a concentration of melanin in the skin. This problem has the potential to cause more than cosmetic health problems.

Sucking the thumb and changing the speech pattern (such as to baby talk) are signs of regression, a defense mechanism used by children to deal with unpleasant experiences by returning to a previous stage that may be more comfortable to the child. Suppression is a conscious inhibition of an idea or desire. Repression is an unconscious inhibition of an idea or desire. Denial would be exhibited by expressions of resignation instead of true contentment, not thumb sucking or baby talk.
