Sturge-Weber
syndrome (SWS) or encephalo-trigeminal hemangiomatosis is a sporadic,
mesodermal phakomatosis characterised by hemangiomas involving many parts of
the body, particularly ocular, intracranial and facial cutaneous structures.
Glaucoma is a common feature, with an incidence of 30%-71% in patients with Sturge-Weber
syndrome. The aim of study was to evaluate the surgical outcomes in terms of
intraocular pressure control, maintenance of visual acuity and complications of
glaucoma surgeries, in eyes with Sturge-Weber syndrome and to evaluate risk
factors leading to surgical failure.
