- W4383824552 abstract "Twelve-year-old female presented to this center with difficulty in seeing from her right eye for one year and watering from both eyes since the same duration. She was diagnosed as a case of congenital glaucoma (both eyes) since the last 5 years and is already under topical antiglaucoma medications (both eyes). At the time of presentation, the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the right eye was 6/12 and the left eye was 6/9. The anterior chamber (AC) of both eyes shows deep AC with megalocornea. Fundus examination revealed near total glaucomatous optic atrophy in the right eye and cup-disc ratio (CDR) 0.6:1 with a superior notch in the left eye [Fig. 1]. Applanation tonometry intraocular pressure (IOP) was 28 and 18 mmHg (on antiglaucoma medication) in the right and left eye, respectively. A four-mirror gonioscopy revealed open angles with few iris processes and increased trabecular pigmentation (grade 2) in both eyes. Central corneal thickness was 570 m and 590 m, respectively. The right eye visual field shows generalized overall depression of the visual field and the left eye visual field (30-2) showed few rim defects with inferior incomplete arcuate scotoma. She had extensive port-wine stains on both sides of her face [Fig. 2]. She also had left-side relative hypertrophy [Fig. 3]. Dilated superficial vessels are also noted in the lower limbs. Based on the above features, she was diagnosed as a case of overlapping Sturge–Weber syndrome in combination with Klippel–Trenaunay syndrome (KTS). In view of high IOP and advanced visual field changes in her right eye, she underwent a trabeculectomy with mitomycin C application in the right eye. Her left eye was kept under observation with combined antiglaucoma. She was also evaluated by a neuro physician for the possibility of starting any anticonvulsant therapy. Genetic counseling, pediatric evaluation, and dermatologist opinion were also taken. The only positive finding was a left ovarian cyst for which she was referred to a gynecologist opinion.Figure 1: Right eye total glaucomatous optic atrophyFigure 2: Port-wine stain on both sides of the faceFigure 3: Left-side relative hypertrophyDiscussion This is a rare case of overlapping KTS and Sturge–Weber syndrome with secondary glaucoma. The suggested pathogenetic mechanisms are venous dysplasia of the emissary veins in the intracranial circulation leading to vascular malformations, alteration of autonomic perivascular nerves due to neural crest alterations, and GNAQ gene mutation in the Sturge–Weber syndrome.[1] In the pathogenesis of KTS, PIK3CA mutations have been additionally implicated.[2] In these syndromes, neuro-ectodermal vasculature involvement is primary and other features are secondary to primary involvement.[3] Glaucoma, the ocular finding in these syndromes, is attributable to increased episcleral venous pressure or anterior chamber angle malformation. Glaucoma is more refractory to the treatment, both medical and surgical, due to trabecular meshwork ultrastructural or compositional alteration.[4] We find this case a very rare case especially in females as this overlapping syndrome is more prevalent in males.[5] Further uniqueness of this case was ocular manifestation was more on the right side with KTS features more on the left side.
