Abstract
Sturge-Weber syndrome has been included in the neuro-cutaneous disorders that is characterized by hamartomas involving the brain, skin, and eyes. Facial port-wine stain is characteristic. It involves the first branch of the trigeminal nerve and the embryonic vasculature distribution in this area leading to several ocular complications of the anterior segment with involvement of the eyelids and conjunctiva. Diffuse choroidal hemangiomas can occur in the posterior segment of the eyes. However, glaucoma is the most frequent ocular comorbidity with a prevalence rate ranging from 30%–70%. We report a case report of Sturge–Weber syndrome in a pregnant patient with facial port wine stain and seizures since birth, glaucomatous atrophy on fundoscopy and brain atrophy in MRI.
