  • Title: Retinal vascular abnormalities in Sturge-Weber syndrome.
    Author: Ratra D, Yadav H, Dalan D, Sodhi PKS, Ratra V.
    Journal: Indian J Ophthalmol; 2019 Jul; 67(7):1223-1226. PubMed ID: 31238475.
    Abstract:
    Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) includes facial, leptomeningeal and choroidal hemangioma. The retinal vasculature is essentially normal. Rare cases of retinal vascular tortuosity and arterio-venous malformations have been reported. We report two cases with rare concomitant retinal vascular abnormalities along with SWS. Both the patients had nevus flammeus, hemifacial hypertrophy, and choroidal hemangioma. In one case, retinal cavernous hemangioma was seen in the affected eye. The other case revealed retinal neovascularization secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy in the eye with choroidal hemangioma.
