| Sturge-Weber syndrome is
a rare congential vascular condition characterized by a
facial portwine stain, with or without leptomeningeal
angiomatosis. The nevus flammeus of the face and/or eyelids corresponds to the distribution of the trigerminal nerve. The conjunctival and choroidall vessels are usually engorged, and the raised episcleral venous pressure can produce glaucoma in one-third of these cases. Glaucoma associated with this syndrome can occur at any age, representing a significant visual threat often requiring surgery. A choroidal hemangioma is the most common intraocular abnormality associated with Sturge-Weber syndrome. The angioma of the pia and arachnoid often alters the vascular supply of the underlying cerebral cortex, leading to secondary degeneration and calcification. Treatment varies according to the location of the abnormality and the extent of ocular involvement. |
