Abstract

AIM:Outcome of surgical management in glaucoma associated with Sturge-Weber Syndrome.METHOD:Retrospective study.7 patients with glaucoma associated with Sturge Weber syndrome were included.All patients had a minimum follow up of 5 years.RESULTS:All 7 patients were females with a mean age at presentation of 14.6years & mean IOP 24.57mmHg.3(42.9%) patients had undergone trabeculectomy+trabeculotomy with MMC.AGV was implanted in 2(28.6%) patients.2 patients underwent Trabeculectomy with MMC,among which 1 had AGV implantation & 1 underwent cataract surgery.Mean IOP in the trabeculectomy with trabeculotomy group was 25.5 mmHg & 20 mmHg in AGV group.There was significant difference between postsurgery IOP and baseline.The mean number of medications were 1.5 and 2.5 in the trabeculectomy with trabeculotomy & AGV group after 5 years.CONCLUSION:Surgical treatment in patients with glaucoma associated with Sturge Webers Syndrome seems to maintain the intraocular pressure over a long term
