Lamellar Sclerectomy with Sclerostomy for Choroidal Hemangioma in Sturge-Weber Syndrome: A Case Report

Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare phakomatoses without any hereditary predisposition. The choroidal hemangioma and glaucoma are frequently present on the same side as facial nevus flammeus. We report a case of choroidal hemangioma with glaucoma not responding to medical therapy and managed with four quadrants lamellar sclerectomy with sclerostomy.

Underlying Pathogenesis

Abstract Background Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a sporadic congenital disorder, characterized by unilateral facial nevus flammeus associated with ipsilateral glaucoma, choroidal angioma and leptomeningeal hemangiomas. SWS can comorbid with other disorders in some patients, however, there has been no prior described case of SWS and polydactyly occurring in the same patient. Case presentation A 15-year-old girl with diagnosis of SWS presented to our hospital. She had bilateral glaucoma and extensive port-wine stains distributing in bilateral faces, left neck and left upper limb. Meanwhile, the patient was noted to demonstrate the superfluous digit attaching on the left thumb and was diagnosed as polydactyly. Trabeculectomy, with intraoperative application of mitomycin C and postoperative subconjunctival injections of 5-fluorouracil, was successful in controlling the intraocular pressure in both eyes. Conclusions We report a case with bilateral SWS coexisting with unilateral polydactyly, which, to our knowledge, has not been recognized previously and adds further evidence to the existing literature. In view of the rare concurrence of SWS and polydactyly, the etiology is unclear and further investigation is required to explore the underlying pathogenesis.

Sturge Weber Syndrome

Background: Sturge-Weber syndrome is a rare congenital neuro- oculo- cutaneous disorder. Objective: To report a very rare unusual case of bilateral manifestation of Sturge Weber syndrome. Case: We report an unusual case of a 17-year-old female with advanced stage of bilateral glaucoma associated with facial nevus extending to the other half of the face as well and bilateral intracranial calcification. Conclusion: Sturge -Weber syndrome can manifest as a bilateral condition. Nepal J Ophthalmol 2013; 5(9):129-132 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/nepjoph.v5i1.7841
