ABSTRACT
Sturge-Weber syndrome is a rare sporadic and congenital neurocutaneous disease characterized primarily by the presence of cutaneous and extracutaneous capillary malformations. Our understanding of this syndrome has improved since its first description over the years, particularly with the identification of different clinical presentations and new genetic mutations. Ocular manifestations are frequently observed in this syndrome but often develop insidiously and can threaten visual prognosis. Thus, an appreciation of different ophthalmological manifestations seems crucial. In the same perspective, we report the case of a 12-year-old child who consulted for an ophthalmological examination following a recent discovery of Sturge-Weber syndrome.
