Abstract

The theories that attempt to explain etiopathogenesis of glaucoma in Sturge-Weber syndrome are presented. The assumptions for treatment of this kind of glaucoma have been explained on the grounds of literature and 2 observed cases (one with bilateral location). The best results are obtained with pharmacological treatment. Surgical procedures may result in many intraoperative and postoperative complications.
