Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined trabeculotomy-non-penetrating deep sclerectomy (CTNS) in the treatment of Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) secondary glaucoma. METHODS This retrospective study reviewed cases that underwent CTNS as initial surgery for SWS secondary glaucoma at our Ophthalmology Department center from April 2019 to August 2020. Surgical success was defined as an intraocular pressure (IOP) ≤ 21 mm Hg with (qualified success) or without (complete success) the use of anti-glaucoma medications. IOP >21 mm Hg or <5 mm Hg despite 3 or more applications of anti-glaucoma medications on 2 consecutive follow-up visits or at the last follow-up, performance of additional glaucoma (IOP-lowering) surgery, or with vision-threatening complications were classified as failure. RESULTS A total of 22 eyes of 21 patients were included. Twenty-one eyes were of early-onset type and 1 eye was of adulthood onset. For Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, the overall success rates at 1st and 2nd years were 95.2% and 84.9%, while the complete success rates at 1st and 2nd years were 42.9% and 36.7%. At the last follow-up (22.3 ± 4.0 months, range: 11.2∼31.2), overall success was achieved in 19 (85.7%) eyes and complete success in 12 (52.4%) eyes. Postoperative complications included transient hyphema (11/22, 50.0%) and transient Ⅰ degree shallow anterior chamber (1/22, 4.5%), and retinal detachment (1/22, 4.5%). No other severe com plications were detected during the follow-up. CONCLUSION CTNS significantly reduces IOP in SWS secondary glaucoma patients who have serious episcleral vascular malformation. CTNS in SWS secondary glaucoma patients is safe and effective for short and medium periods. A randomized controlled study comparing the long-term prognosis of SWS early-onset and late-onset glaucoma underwent CTNS is worth conducting.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate mid-term efficacy and safety of ab externo Microcatheter-assisted trabeculotomy (MAT) for early-onset glaucoma associated with Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) and phakomatosis pigmentovascularis (PPV). DESIGN Retrospective, non-comparative, interventional case series. METHODS Medical records of consecutive SWS- or PPV-associated glaucoma patients who had undergone ab externo MAT between August 2017 and April 2020 at Beijing Children's Hospital were reviewed. Success was defined as an intraocular pressure (IOP) of <21 mmHg with (qualified success) or without (complete success) the use of antiglaucoma medication. RESULTS Overall, 13 eyes (12 patients) with SWS and 9 eyes (8 patients) with PPV were included, with a mean age of 12.8 ± 15.8 months at the time of surgery and a mean follow-up time of 39.5 ±10.4 months. Both the SWS (26.5 ± 5.3 mmHg at baseline vs 16.5 ± 5.0 mmHg at the last visit; P < .001) and PPV (29.2 ± 7.5 mmHg vs 23.4 ± 4.7 mmHg; P = .014) subsets achieved a statistically significant fall in IOP following surgery. The Kaplan-Meier survival rate of complete (qualified) success after 42 months was 76.2% (87.5%) and 22.2% (40.0%) for eyes with SWS and PPV, respectively. Complications were minimal. Phakomatosis pigmentovascularis was associated with worse surgical outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Ab externo MAT is an effective and safe treatment for early-onset glaucoma associated with SWS, but a gradual increase in IOP over time was noted in some patients. Ab externo MAT has limited efficacy for early-onset glaucoma associated with PPV in the mid-term.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the outcomes of trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCPC) in pediatric glaucoma secondary to Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS). METHODS The medical records of all SWS glaucoma cases in the pediatric age group (<18 years of age) that underwent TSCPC at our institute from January 2000 to September 2017. RESULTS A total of 22 eyes of 22 patients were included. Mean age at the time of TSCPC was 5.9 ± 5 years (range, 0-16 years). Mean postoperative follow-up was 32.2 ± 16.6 months (range, 6-54 months). Intraocular pressure (IOP) was reduced from a preoperative mean of 28 ± 4.5 mm Hg to 20.3 ± 3.7 mm Hg at 36 months (P = 0.02). The mean number of glaucoma medications used was 3.5 ± 0.7 preoperatively and 3.1 ± 1.4 at 36 months (P = 0.70). The overall success rate (complete and qualified) was 72.7% at 12 months, 62.3% at 24 months, and 54.5% at 36 months. One eye developed hypotony and choroidal effusion, which resolved with medical therapy. Of the patients for whom visual acuity was recorded preoperatively, no one experienced a loss of more than 2 lines of Snellen visual acuity. CONCLUSIONS In our study cohort, TSCPC resulted in mild reduction in IOP, with minimal complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate glaucoma drainage device (GDD) implantation for refractory pediatric glaucoma associated with Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS). METHODS The medical records of consecutive children with SWS-associated glaucoma at a single center who were treated by a single surgeon using GDDs over 20 years were reviewed retrospectively. The main outcome measure was GDD treatment success, defined as absence of any of the following indications of treatment failure: (1) intraocular pressure (IOP) of >21 mm Hg on two consecutive visits despite maximal medical therapy, (2) additional IOP-lowering surgery, and (3) sight-threatening complications. RESULTS A total of 22 eyes of 22 children were included. The median age at glaucoma diagnosis was 0.73 years (range, 0.06-13.2), and the median age at GDD surgery was 4.8 years (range, 0.6-13.3). Most eyes (14 [68%]) had prior glaucoma surgery. Mean follow-up was 2.8 ± 1.5 years. Success (95% confidence interval) by Kaplan-Meier analysis for GDD surgery at 1, 3, and 5 years was 91% (68-98), 75% (50-89), and 52% (24-73), respectively. Failure occurred in 8 eyes (36%). Complications were common, occurring in 50% of eyes, with 23% of eyes having more than one complication. Severe vision-threatening complications (n = 3) included one case each of possible infection requiring GDD removal, persistent hypotony, and cilioretinal artery occlusion. CONCLUSIONS GDDs are an effective treatment for SWS-associated glaucoma but have a high rate of complications. We report several severe complications that prompted surgical modifications for increased safety when implanting GDDs in eyes with SWS-associated glaucoma.

Abstract
Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) or encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis is a non-inherited congenital disorder characterized by neurologic, skin, and ocular abnormalities. A somatic activating mutation (R183Q) in the GNAQ gene during early embryogenesis has been recently recognized as the etiology of vascular abnormalities in SWS. Approximately, half of the patients with SWS manifest ocular involvement including glaucoma as the most common ocular abnormality followed by choroidal hemangioma (CH). The underlying pathophysiology of glaucoma in SWS has not been completely understood yet. Early onset glaucoma comprising 60% of SWS glaucoma have lower success rates after medical and surgical treatments compared with primary congenital glaucoma. Primary angle surgery is associated with modest success in the early onset SWS glaucoma while the success rate significantly decreases in late onset glaucoma. Filtration surgery is associated with a higher risk of intraoperative and postoperative choroidal effusion and suprachoroidal hemorrhage. CH is reported in 40-50% of SWS patients. The goal of treatment in patients with CH is to induce involution of the hemangioma, with reduction of subretinal and intraretinal fluid and minimal damage to the neurosensory retina. The decision for treating diffuse CHs highly depends on the patient's visual acuity, the need for glaucoma surgery, the presence of subretinal fluid (SRF), its chronicity, and the potential for visual recovery.

Abstract
Background To evaluate the choroidal changes in Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) secondary glaucoma and non-glaucoma port-wine stain (PWS) patients by enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). Methods SWS and PWS patients who were over 3 years old and treated or screened at our ophthalmology department were included in the study. Baseline demographics, EDI-OCT and fundus photography data were collected from all patients. Results Overall, 46 non-glaucoma PWS (NGPWS) patients and 35 SWS secondary glaucoma (SG) patients were included, with mean ages of 16.52 ± 13.63 and 13.94 ± 8.27 years, respectively (p > 0.05). Among these patients 2 exhibited bilateral PWS and unilateral glaucoma. Thus, the two eyes of each patient were divided into NGPWS and SG group, respectively. Twenty-one eyes had choroidal hemangiomas and 7 eyes had excessive thickening of the choroid without choroidal hemangiomas. Choroidal hemangiomas were only observed in ipsilateral eyes of SG patients. The choroidal thicknesses of the ipsilateral and fellow eyes of NGPWS patients were 358.10 ± 117.40 μm (45 eyes) and 288.20 ± 79.04 μm (41 eyes), respectively (p < 0.05). The choroidal thicknesses of the ipsilateral and fellow eyes of SG patients were 511.40 ± 242.10 μm (15 eyes) and 283.90 ± 92.27 μm (29 eyes), respectively (p < 0.05). Significant differences were found between the ipsilateral eyes of SWS and PWS patients (p < 0.05). Six of 13 eyes (46%) with choroidal hemangiomas exhibited post-operative posterior segment complications. Conclusions NGPWS and SG patients had a thicker choroid in the ipsilateral eye. The trend was even more pronounced in SG patients. Choroidal hemangiomas were only found in the ipsilateral eyes of SG. In addition, choroidal hemangioma was a risk factor for post-operative posterior segment complications in SWS patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the results of surgical treatment of glaucoma in patients with facial port wine mark at a single institution over a 10-year period. METHODS The study was conducted on 21 eyes (10 right eyes) of 17 children (8 males) with glaucoma associated with facial port wine mark presenting to the pediatric ophthalmology practice at a single institution between January 2008 and December 2017. All study eyes underwent combined angle and filtering surgery with antimetabolite (mitomycin C) and were followed for 2 years. Eyes were randomized for the angle component of the procedure to conventional trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy (CTT) or viscotrabeculotomy-trabeculectomy (VTT). Success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) of 5-16 mm Hg with no vision-threatening complications. RESULTS Mean patient age was 17.4 ± 7.5 months. Mean IOP was 30.4 ± 3.7 mm Hg; mean corneal diameter, 12.4 ± 0.5 mm; mean axial length, 21.17 ± 1.63 mm; mean cup:disk ratio, 0.5 ± 0.2; and mean number of IOP-lowering drugs at presentation, 2.6 ± 0.5. At the end of the 2-year follow-up period, corresponding values were 12.9 ± 0.9 mm Hg, 12.6 ± 0.4 mm, 21.6 ± 1.7 mm, 0.6 ± 0.2, and 0.1 ± 0.3, respectively, in VTT patients and 14.3 ± 0.7 mm Hg, 12.9 ± 0.5 mm, 21.8 ± 1.7 mm, 0.6 ± 0.2, and 0.1 ± 0.4, respectively, in CTT groups. The most notable complication was a minimal self-limiting hyphema, more prevalent in the CTT group. CONCLUSIONS In our study cohort, there were few postoperative complications associated with combined angle and filtering surgery with antimetabolites, which effectively treated elevated IOP, especially when medical treatment showed a modest response. The addition of viscoelastic to the procedure may provide additional benefits and slightly limit intra- and postoperative complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the surgical results of goniosurgery for children with glaucoma associated with Sturge-Weber syndrome. METHODS Retrospective review of medical records of patients who had initial goniosurgery for glaucoma associated with Sturge-Weber syndrome. RESULTS A total of 46 eyes of 42 patients who had glaucoma associated with Sturge-Weber syndrome and were treated with initial goniosurgery were identified to determine the efficacy of therapeutic goniotomy and trabeculotomy (goniosurgery). The average age at the time of goniosurgery was 1.5 years (range: 1 month to 23 years). Office intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements before goniosurgery were recorded in 76% of patients (32 of 42 patients) with an average measurement of 35 mm Hg (range: 25 to 50 mm Hg). The average interval to failure was 4 months (range: 1 to 48 months). Forty-six eyes underwent goniosurgery with a rate of failure of 98% (45 of 46 eyes) and a qualified success rate of 2% (1 of 46 eyes). Fifty-one goniotomy and 11 trabeculotomy procedures were performed. On gonioscopy, the filtration angles were all abnormal with variable width and visibility of the ciliary body band and less visible scleral spur. The trabecular meshwork was seen preoperatively in 100% of eyes (41 of 41 eyes) examined, all of which underwent goniosurgery. Five eyes underwent goniosurgery without documented gonioscopy. The ciliary body band was seen in 39% of eyes (16 of 41 eyes) and the scleral spur was visible in 10% of eyes (4 of 41 eyes). CONCLUSIONS Goniosurgery is not an effective initial glaucoma surgery for glaucoma associated with Sturge-Weber syndrome. It can be used to temporize the IOP, but ultimately other forms of glaucoma surgery must be considered when indicated. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2020;57(6):384-387.].

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the relationships between episcleral hemangioma distribution patterns and trabeculotomy prognosis in young Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) patients. METHODS Sturge-Weber syndrome-induced glaucoma patients less than 4 years of age who underwent trabeculotomy in our Ophthalmology Department from February 2016 to June 2017 were included. Every patient could be divided into simple episcleral vascular abnormal network (SEVAN) or multiple episcleral vascular abnormal network (MEVAN) groups according to their episcleral hemangioma patterns. The intraocular pressure (IOP) was recorded during follow-up until the last visit. RESULTS Fifty eyes (forty-six patients) of SWS were included. Mean age of surgery was 12.6 ± 15.1 months (range 1-47 months). Twenty-six eyes were in the SEVAN group, while 24 eyes were in the MEVAN group. There were no significant differences between the two groups in demographic data before surgery (p > 0.05). IOPs at 12 months (p = 0.013) and 24 months (p = 0.002) were significantly different between the two groups. At the 24-month follow-up, the cumulative proportions of trabeculotomy success in the SEVAN and MEVAN groups were 89.7% and 36.0%, respectively. Patients with MEVAN and larger preoperative corneal diameter (per 0.5 mm) were more likely to experience failed trabeculotomy (hazards ratio [HR], 7.997 [95% CI, 1.640-38.996], p = 0.010; 1.853 [95% CI, 1.128-3.042], p = 0.015). CONCLUSION Hemangiomas exhibited different distribution patterns between SEVAN and MEVAN. Trabeculotomy had a poorer prognosis in young SWS patients with MEVAN than in those with SEVAN. In addition to anterior chamber angle anomalies, vascular factors may contribute to the aetiology of SWS early-onset glaucoma.

Abstract
PRECIS Glaucoma associated with Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) often requires surgical intervention. Our study shows that trabeculectomy is efficacious in treating this condition. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to describe the surgical outcomes of glaucoma associated with SWS in children presenting to the tertiary Paediatric Ophthalmology Department at The Children's Hospital at Westmead. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study of patients with SWS referred to the Department of Ophthalmology at The Children's Hospital at Westmead between 2003 and 2016 with at least 2 years of follow-up were identified, and information was collected from the clinical notes of all subjects. RESULTS A total of 27 patients with SWS were evaluated for glaucoma in which 8 were excluded due to inadequate follow-up. In total, 19 patients with SWS were included in this study in which glaucoma was diagnosed in 15 patients and 19 eyes, of which 13 eyes required glaucoma surgery. A total of 21 surgical procedures were performed with a median follow-up of 85 months. A primary trabeculotomy was performed in 5 eyes of which 4 required re-do trabeculotomy, and 3 of these eyes underwent a Baerveldt tube (BVT) shunt as a third procedure. One eye with a primary trabeculotomy underwent a BVT as a secondary procedure. A BVT was inserted in a total of 6 eyes in which it was a primary procedure in 2 eyes. Of the 6 eyes undergoing a BVT insertion, 5 achieved success (2 complete and 3 qualified), and 1 failed. One case underwent intraluminal stent removal. Six eyes underwent a primary trabeculectomy and needed no further surgical intervention. In the trabeculectomy group, 4 eyes achieved complete success and 2 eyes achieved qualified success. CONCLUSIONS Glaucoma affects a significant proportion of patients with SWS and is associated with the presence of an ipsilateral port-wine stain in most cases. In our study, trabeculectomy was the most efficacious procedure for controlling intraocular pressure and reducing the burden of ongoing treatment in SWS-associated glaucoma.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate episcleral vasculature in corneal limbus with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in normal controls, port-wine stain (PWS) patients, and Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) patients. Methods Unilateral eyes from 18 normal controls (25.41 ± 4.00 years), 16 PWS patients (21.35 ± 11.05 years), and 8 SWS patients with ipsilateral late-onset glaucoma (22.13 ± 7.82 years). Each subject underwent slit-lamp examination, applanation tonometry, and OCTA. All OCTA scans were performed using an OCTA system operating at a wavelength of 1050-nm in four quadrants (superior, inferior, nasal, and temporal). The scans were delineated into conjunctival and episcleral layers using IMAGEnet6 for analysis. Results Slit-lamp and OCTA images demonstrated dense dilated episcleral vessels in PWS and SWS patients, particularly in the SWS group. The mean limbal involvements of episcleral vascular anomalies under slit lamp were respectively 0.00 ± 0.00, 5.44 ± 2.92, and 8.88 ± 2.70 clock hours in the control, PWS, and SWS groups (F = 58.46, P < 0.01). Quantitative analysis of OCTA scans showed that the episcleral vessel density in controls, PWS, and SWS groups were 25.03% ± 1.47%, 28.28% ± 1.96%, and 33.59% ± 3.00%, respectively (F = 18.17, P < 0.01). We also observed higher episcleral vessel diameter index in the SWS and PWS groups in comparison with the controls, particularly in the SWS group (P < 0.01). The vessel measurements, including density and diameter, were significantly correlated with the increased IOP and cup-to-disc (C/D) in SWS patients (P < 0.01). Conclusions To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of OCTA in PWS and SWS patients and represents direct pathoanatomic evidence for episcleral alterations in SWS patients. The episcleral vessel measurements correlated with the increased IOP and C/D in SWS patients, indicating the episcleral vascular hypertrophy may be a risk factor for glaucoma in adult SWS patients.

Abstract
A 23-year-old pregnant woman presented with headache and paroxysmal spasm of the right limb. She was born with a port-wine birthmark around the left eye frame. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed evidence of atrophy, calcification and vascular malformation in the left cerebral hemisphere. She was diagnosed with Sturge-Weber syndrome. She gave birth to a child without a port-wine birthmark through a caesarean section and her headache eased without surgical intervention of the intracranial vessel hyperplasia. This case suggests that pregnant women with SWS can deliver safely.

Abstract
Patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) are susceptible to ocular complications, and among them, glaucoma is one of the most frequent forms. In current study, we utilized multiplex human cytokine antibody array to simultaneously measure the concentration of 40 cytokines in aqueous humor (AH) of patients with SWS-induced glaucoma (SG), or from patients with senile cataract as controls. Compared with the control group, levels of interleukin (IL)-12p40, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1d, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), IL-5, IL-7, interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R), and B lymphocyte chemoattractant (BLC) in AH were significantly higher in SG group. Samples from SG patients displayed significantly lower levels of MIP-1b, IL-6, MIP-1a, and monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 than controls. Further analysis showed that IL-7, MIP-1a, TNF-a were positively correlated with intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with early-onset SG. Moreover, IL-12p40 was negatively correlated with age in patients with SG. These cytokines may make contributions to the immunopathogenesis or progression of glaucoma in patients with SWS.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare, congenital disease which frequently involves the eye. It is important that ophthalmologists recognize this syndrome and are aware of its range of ocular manifestations. The aim of this article is to present our understanding of the pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of this syndrome and provide updated information on the treatment of SWS glaucoma and choroidal hemangioma. RECENT FINDINGS SWS glaucoma usually fails medical management. Surgical options include angle procedures, filtering procedures, device placement, and combination procedures. Combination procedures have become popular in this population due to the single procedure failure rate of angle surgery and the complications associated with device implantation. Choroidal hemangioma is best treated by photodynamic therapy. SUMMARY Lifelong monitoring for ocular complications related to SWS is essential. There is a need for consensus guidelines on care and surveillance of patients with SWS to provide the best care for these patients.

Abstract
Background: The location of facial port-wine stain (PWS) may be helpful for predicting some associated anomalies; high glaucoma incidence is found in patients with eyes close to PWS-affected areas (V1, ophthalmic branch area of the trigeminal nerve). This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of glaucoma in V1-affected PWS. Methods: A total of 569 patients with V1 area-affected PWS were reviewed in the study. The large series was based on the referral system between the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the Department of Ophthalmology. All patients were screened for glaucoma with assessments of intraocular pressure, cup-to-disc ratio, corneal diameter (only for infants), and axial length. Results: Of the 569 patients, 110 (19.3%) patients had glaucoma. Among the patients, 18.1% (76/420) had early-onset glaucoma (under 4-year-old group). In the 4 to 18-year-old age group, 29.3% (29/99) of the patients had glaucoma. Compared with right lateral and bilateral PWS, left-sided PWS had a lower risk of glaucoma in this study (odds ratio = 0.432 [95% confidence interval, 0.264–0.706], P = 0.01). The under 4-year-old group showed a slight predominance of males (61.8%) in glaucoma. Conclusions: High glaucoma incidence was observed in patients with eyes close to PWS. More attention should be paid to glaucoma screening for right lateral and bilateral PWS patients. The predominance of males in Sturge–Weber syndrome (SWS) early-onset glaucoma patients might be due to the limitation of the case number; however, it might also provide us a new clue of potential relationship between SWS and PCG.
