Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome. It is described by the presence of leptomeningeal angiomas, ocular involvement such as choroidal hemangioma and glaucoma, and port-wine stain over the face. Management of SWS-associated ocular complications is challenging and needs regular follow-ups. Herein, we present a case of a 28-year-old male patient who underwent glaucoma surgery but did not adhere to regular follow-ups and later presented with left-sided exophthalmos and eye pain. Management with medical treatment (latanoprost) was effective in the short term, but regular follow-ups are crucial to prevent further progression due to high failure rates.
斯特奇-韦伯综合征(SWS)是一种罕见的神经皮肤综合征。其特征为存在软脑膜血管瘤、眼部受累(如脉络膜血管瘤和青光眼)以及面部葡萄酒色斑。SWS相关眼部并发症的治疗具有挑战性,需要定期随访。在此,我们报告一例28岁男性患者,该患者接受了青光眼手术,但未坚持定期随访,后来出现左侧眼球突出和眼痛。药物治疗(拉坦前列素)在短期内有效,但由于失败率高,定期随访对于防止病情进一步发展至关重要。
