“…Los pacientes pueden desarrollar glaucoma, como una de las manifestaciones oculares más frecuentes, suele ser unilateral a la mácula en vino de Oporto pero no siempre es así, resulta como consecuencia de una presión venosa epiescleral elevada que ocasiona un incremento de la presión intraocular 21 . Sin embargo, se describen dos formas de glaucoma en SSW, la primera representa al 60%, también llamada congénita y está asociado a anomalías en la cámara anterior del ojo, y la segunda forma también llamada tardía representa el 40% y esta se relaciona con una elevada presión venosa epiescleral 3 .…”

El síndrome de Sturge-Weber es un trastorno neurocutáneo, congénito, esporádico e infrecuente que afecta aproximadamente a 1 de cada 20 000 a 50 0000 nacidos vivos y que se relaciona con una mutación genética activadora somática en GNAQ. Clínicamente se caracteriza por la presencia de una mácula en vino de Oporto en la piel de territorio trigeminal, angiomatosis leptomeníngea y glaucoma. Puede asociarse a diferentes manifestaciones clínicas, de las cuales las crisis epilépticas representan la manifestación neurológica más frecuente que se asocia a un deterioro cognitivo importante en estos pacientes. En el presente artículo se realiza una revisión descriptiva de la literatura sobre los aspectos etiológicos, fisiopatológicos, de clasificación, clínicos, diagnósticos y del tratamiento del síndrome de Sturge-Weber.

“…Trabeculotomy and goniotomy, as well as trabeculectomy, posterior lip sclerectomy, and trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy, are among the reported surgical treatment modalities for SWS-related glaucoma [ 23 , 27 ]. Moreover, using Ahmed valve implants, Molteno tubes, and CyPass suprachoroidal shunts has been considered to provide better long-term outflow and minimize the risk of complications associated with traditional trabeculectomy [ 23 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ].…”

Sturge–Weber syndrome (SWS) is characterized by facial port-wine stains, leptomeningeal hemangiomas, and prominent ocular manifestations such as glaucoma and diffuse choroidal hemangiomas (DCHs). Imaging modalities are critical for diagnosing and longitudinally monitoring DCHs in SWS. Fundus photography is fundamental in assessing both eyes simultaneously, fluorescein angiography and indocyanine green angiography effectively map the retinal and choroidal circulation, and ultrasonography offers essential structural insights into the choroid and retina. NIR imaging reveals subtle retinal pigment changes, often overlooked in standard fundus examination. Enhanced depth imaging spectral domain optical coherence tomography (EDI-SDOCT) and swept-source OCT (SSOCT) improve the visualization of the choroidal-scleral boundary, essential for DCH characterization. The potential of OCT angiography (OCTA) is under exploration, particularly its role in predicting signs of disease progression or worsening, as well as potential new biomarkers such as the choroidal vascularity index (CVI). The present review aims to provide an update on multimodal imaging of DCHs in SWS.

“…ey are usually unilateral, but sometimes, they may be bilateral or absent or widespread to other parts of the body [2]. Ocular involvement includes the development of glaucoma and retinal/choroidal angiomas [5,8]. About 40% of the cases may develop oral lesions such as excess gingival growth and asymmetric jaw growth [9].…”

Sturge–Weber syndrome is a rare congenital neurocutaneous disorder characterized by dermatological, ophthalmological, and neurological manifestations. It occurs due to abnormal persistence of embryonic vascular plexus. Here, we describe a case of four years seven months female with seizures, developmental delay, intellectual disability, and bilateral port-wine stain diagnosed as type I (classical) Sturge–Weber syndrome. The ophthalmological evaluation was unremarkable. Electroencephalogram showed abnormalities suggestive of a structural lesion in the right cerebral hemisphere. CT scan of the head revealed volume loss of right brain parenchyma with linear, cortical, as well as subcortical calcifications more evident in the right hemisphere. The child should be followed up regularly until adulthood for ophthalmological evaluation, recurrence of seizures, and other manifestations of this disorder.
