Sturge-Weber Syndrome: An Ophthalmology Manifestation and Management Review

Abstract

Abstract Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare congenital disorder characterised by haemangioma found in several parts of the body, such us ocular, intracranial, and facial skin structures. Glaucoma is one of the most common ophthalmic symptoms in SWS patients, occurring at birth or throughout life and eventually leading to blindness. Ophthalmologists emphasise the importance of recognising and treating this disease because of the variety of ocular signs it causes and the complexity of the treatment decision. The purpose of this paper is to improve our understanding of clinical symptoms and provide up-to-date information on SWS treatment, particularly in cases of glaucoma and choroidal haemangioma.
