Extractions: Moderator: Doctor Rick, tonight we would like to discuss four types of glaucoma: Iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome, Sturge-Weber syndrome, inflammatory glaucoma, and traumatic glaucoma. What do these types of glaucoma have in common? Dr. Rick Wilson: They are all secondary glaucomas, caused by a visible problem, as opposed to chronic open-angle glaucoma, the cause of which is unknown. In ICE, a spectrum of diseased corneal endothelium, the inside lining of the cornea, grows off the cornea, covers the drain or pulls the iris up over the drain, blocking it. The cornea is injured by this abnormal lining and often gets swollen at a lower-than-usual intraocular pressure. Moderator: What causes ICE? Dr. Rick Wilson: ICE may result from a herpes simplex infection of the cornea in utero (before birth). P: At what age does ICE commonly occur? Is it unilateral? Dr. Rick Wilson:

Extractions: Sturge-Weber syndrome is also called Encephalotrigeminal Angiomatosis. It is a congenital disorder characterised by a vascular birthmark and neurological abnormalities. Symptoms of the disorder, which vary widely among patients, may include eye and internal organ irregularities. The most apparent symptom is a facial birthmark or port wine stain which is present at birth and usually involves at least one upper eyelid and the forehead.

Extractions: Sturge Weber Syndrome A congenital facial birthmark and neurological abnormalities characterize this condition. Other symptoms associated can include eye and internal organ irregularities. Each case of Sturge-Weber syndrome is unique and exhibits findings to varying degrees. The most apparent indication of Sturge-Weber syndrome is a facial birthmark or "port wine stain" present at birth and typically involving at least one upper eyelid and the forehead. Neurological concerns relate to the development of excessive blood vessel growth on the surface of the brain (angiomas). Seizure activity is the most common early problem, often starting by one year of age. The convulsions usually appear on the opposite side of the body from the port wine stain and vary in severity. A weakening or loss of the use of one side of the body may develop opposite to the port wine stain. Developmental delay of motor and cognitive skills may also occur to varying degrees.

Extractions: Sturge-Weber Syndrome Sturge-Weber Syndrome is a neurocutaneous (brain-skin) disorder characterized by three features: Port wine stain (cutaneous facial angioma) Seizures and other neurologic complications associated with angioma of the leptomeningies Glaucoma (increased pressure within the eyeball.) Sturge-Weber Syndrome (also called encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis) is an uncommon condition. It occurs in 1:50,000 to 1:60,000 births. The cause is unknown but some scientists think it is the result of abnormal development of the primordial vascular bed (blood supply) of the brain very early in the formation of the embryo. Most cases are sporadic but occasionally cases within families are reported. Males and females seem to be equally affected. It has been reported in individuals of White, Hispanic, African and Asian heritage. The facial port wine stain is present at birth in 98% of individuals with Sturge Weber Syndrome. In general the port wine stain tends to be found in the area of the face enervated by the fifth cranial nerve (trigeminal nerve.) It tends to be unilateral (on one side or the other) but can be bilateral (on both sides.) Port wine stain may also be found on the trunk or extremities of some individuals with Sturge Weber Syndrome. Not all individuals with port wine stain have Sturge Weber.

What they do see, however, is a side of his face that turns even deeper in color whenever he engages in physical activity. Which is why they nicknamed him "two face."

Extractions: Sturge-Weber Syndrome is a somewhat common condition that is characteristically identified by port-wine stain located on the face. These port wine stains are large reddish-purple angiomas caused by an abnormal distribution of blood vessels. They can occur at birth or during infancy, but most commonly develop between the ages of 9 and 16 years. Sturge-Weber Syndrome is a common cause of blindness during childhood. The angioma can affect two branches of the trigeminal nerve which innervate the eyelids, and the vascular abnormalities can then affect the sclera, eyelids, iris, choroid, and the conjunctiva of the eye. If the port wine stain is located on the upper eyelid and forehead, it is most likely that glaucoma will occur. There is usually an increase in intraocular pressures due to the abnormal vasculature of the sclera and damage to the trabecular meshwork. Glaucoma can develop at any age and can be unilateral (usually the same side as the port wine stain) or in some cases bilateral. Early diagnosis and treatment is key to preventing severe vision loss in these patients. What Is Glaucoma?

Extractions: A Previously Undescribed Association Anil K. Mandal, MD The Sturge-Weber syndrome consists of unilateral port-wine haemangioma of the face which may be associated with an ipsilateral intracranial haemangioma and choroidal angioma. The common derivation of the meningeal, choroidal and facial vessels may explain a congenital malformation of all three areas. I report the case of a child with typical Sturge-Weber syndrome who had a previously undescribed association with bilateral congenital syndactyly.

Sometimes the birth mark may be on one side only, sometimes it is on both sides. Occasionally it may also be on the trunk or limbs, again on one or both sides. By some process which probably involves depriving the underlying brain of some of its blood supply, the underlying brain shrinks, and specks of calcium appear in it. This process probably also causes the brain angioma to grow over the surface of the brain usually from the back towards the front. It is probably not hereditary. If a first child has it, the chances of further children having it are less than one in a hundred. There are cases on record of each in a pair of identical twins having it, and also of only one in a pair having it. There is also one record of both the father and the son having it but this is so rare that it is probably a coincidence. It seems that the hitch in blood vessel development is an accident of nature. Nothing that happens or does not happen in pregnancy seems to cause it. What are the symptoms?

Extractions: Sturge-Weber Syndrome is an example of a neuro-cutaneous syndrome, phakomatosis. It comprises the co-incidence of a cerebral leptomeningial angiodysplasia and a cutaneous naevus, which lies high on the face. Not having read the textbook, the visible stain does not confine itself to the maxillary division of the fifth nerve. We should not be surprised by this. The closer the ectoderm (of the final cutaneous lesion) to the neuropore, the more likely there is to be an association of a cutaneous with an intra-cranial abnormality. This underlies the observation that the port-wine stain usually extends above the level the eye and doesn't have to be always on the same side. access full size image
