Abstract

Sturge-Weber syndrome is a phakomatosis with involvement of the eyelids, conjunctiva, choroid, and retina. Congenital glaucoma is the most common ocular complication resulting from raised episcleral venous pressure. We present an unusual case of glaucoma induced by pupillary block in an 81-year-old woman with Sturge-Weber syndrome.
