Phacomatosis pigmentovascularis with sturge-weber syndrome and congenital glaucoma: A rare case report

Abstract

Phacomatosis pigmentovascularis (PPV) is a rare congenital disease characterized by the co-existence of cutaneous vascular malformation and pigmentary nevi with or without extracutaneous systemic involvement. Here, we present a 2-month old child diagnosed with phacomatosis cesioflammea type of PPV with Sturge-Weber syndrome and secondary congenital glaucoma of the left eye. She underwent combined trabeculotomy and trabeculectomy in the left eye for glaucoma and was started on anti-epileptics for seizure control following pediatric evaluation. Early screening and treatment initiation can prevent blindness and other systemic complications associated with PPV.
