BACKGROUND: Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) is a rare disease involving the eye, skin, and brain. Port-wine stain (PWS) and glaucoma are common clinical manifestations. This study analysed the clinical characteristics of infants with PWS and glaucoma secondary to SWS. METHODS: Children with PWS and glaucoma secondary to SWS were enrolled. Data were extracted from ophthalmic and systemic examination findings. Ocular examinations included intraocular pressure, anterior segment and fundus examination, and ocular A-scan and B-scan ultrasonography. RESULTS: Fifty-seven patients were included, with a mean age of 9.9 ± 11.9 months, and 34 (59.6%) patients were male. In all, 61 eyes were diagnosed with glaucoma. Forty-one patients (71.9%) had unilateral facial PWS and glaucoma occurred on the same side. Eight patients (14.0%) had Mongolian spots and ten patients (17.5%) had epilepsy. Corneal changes included corneal oedema (n = 36 eyes, 59.0%), corneal opacity (n = 15 eyes, 24.6%), and Haab lines (n = 13 eyes, 21.3%). Mean corneal diameter and thickness in the eyes with glaucoma was larger than those in the unaffected eyes (12.2 ± 0.7 mm vs 10.8 ± 0.6 mm, P < 0.001; 681.2 ± 106.4 µm vs 578.2 ± 58.2 µm, P < 0.001). The eyes with glaucoma had higher IOP and larger axial length and C/D ratio (19.3 ± 6.2 mmHg vs 11.6 ± 4.2 mmHg, P < 0.001; 21.23 ± 1.93 mm vs 19.68 ± 1.61 mm, P < 0.001; and 0.57 ± 0.18 vs 0.24 ± 0.15, P < 0.001). Thirty-three (57.9%) and 25 (43.9%) patients showed diffuse cho...
